Here are the multiples of pi where the first function repeats:

0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, ... etc (multiples of 4)

Here are the multiples of pi where the 2nd function repeats:
0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, ... (multiples of 6).

You're looking for a number which is a multiple of both. Just look at the lists. What's the first number that occurs in both? (Besides 0).

In general, you want a number that's a multiple of both. You want the least such number. In other words, the LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE, a concept which I'm sure you've seen before.
