Jo if you want to coincide with a full moon within +/- 1 day that makes it 91 years x 1 in 28 days (ie a lunar month) so roughy about every 2548 years.

There’s a weak resonance coupling the moon with each planet but with the inner planets this effect is much weaker than it is with Jupiter Saturn and Mars. The relative contributions are visible in the trig series describing the moons orbit, if you have the stomach for some serious maths.
