Problem of the Week
Problem A
Sorting Socks

Jessie is organizing her sock drawer by arranging her socks in rows.

She notices that if she puts \(5\) pairs of socks in each row, there will be one row with only \(1\) pair of socks. Also, if she puts \(3\) pairs of socks in each row, there will be one row with only \(2\) pairs of socks.

If Jessie has fewer than \(60\) pairs of socks, what is the maximum number of socks she could have?
