Monkeys stacking their coconuts.. sounds like a story.

Anyways 

You have to factor out the 60 
60: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 60

storing in stacks 
The stacks can be either
2 stacks 
3 stacks 
4 stacks 
5 stacks 
6 stacks

2 stacks of 30 coconuts
4 stacks of 15 coconuts
6 stacks of 10 coconuts
12 stacks of 5 coconuts
20 stacks of 3 coconuts
(If there's other ones I forgot..Hopes this helps
