24 is the first number divisible by both 6 and 8 (forget mathematical term sorry). 6 going in 4 times and 8 3 times. So he bought 4bags of apples and 3bags of oranges.

3 bags of oranges (3 x 8 = 24) and 4 bags of apples (4 x 6 = 24)
the least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24 because 6 x 8= 48 and the common factor is 2 so 48/2 =24.

Well for one, it worries me that you would be whole-heartedly in love with such a materialistic thing. If you are against furs, eating meat..and all the jazz, how did you not notice the purse was made with leather? Or if someone bought it for you and knows you, how did they not know better? Secondly, if it is going to bother you too much or cause you to lose sleep, just sell it and purchase a bag made by vegan friendly standards..Stella McCartney makes them. If it doesn't cause you too much fret, just say a quick, "Forgive me" and keep the Coach bag.
