Let's first try to clarify what this means fixing typos and perhaps mistranslations. I think it's something like this:

At a fiesta, there are three bands. One has 18 members, the second has 24, and the third has 36. They were told to march ("abreast"?) in such a way that each band has the same number of members in each row, and each row should be full (no partial rows). What row size will make this possible for all three bands?

If this is right (nothing is said explicitly about my idea of full rows or about all the bands making the same decision), then the answer should involve something about factors and multiples.

What ideas do you have? Where do you need help?
 
For example, 18 can be factored as 1x 2 x 3 x 3. Combining into 2 factors, 18 equals 1 times 18, or 2 times 9, or 3 times 6, or 6 times 3, or 9 times 2 or 18 times 1.

Those correspond, in order, to "18 rows of 1 person each", "9 rows of 2 people each", "6 rows of 3 people each", "3 rows of 6 people each", "2 rows of 9 people each", or "1 row of 18 people".
 
I was thinking exactly along those lines too, HallsofIvy. I think you nailed it.
