The principal of a certain school decided to take a photo of the graduating class of 2008. He arranged the students in parallel rows, all with the same number of students, but this arrangement was too wide for the field of view of his camera. To solve this problem, the principal decided to take one student from each row and place them in a new row. This arrangement displeased the principal because the new row had four students fewer than the other rows. He then decided to take one more student from each of the original rows and place them in the newly created row, and noticed that now all the rows had the same number of students, and finally took his photo. How many students appeared in the photo?
