McDonald’sThe Chicken McNugget Theorem states that for two relatively prime box sizes (m, n), the largest impossible order is mn - m - n, and all larger amounts are possible. This math concept explains that you can't make every large number from combinations of smaller numbers, but there's a point after which all numbers are achievable. For the classic 6 and 9 nugget packs (not coprime), or 6 and 20, it's more complex, but the theorem works perfectly for coprime sizes like 6 and 11 (largest impossible: 49) or 4 and 11 (largest impossible: 29).
