Abstract
We present a systematic approach for tackling the question in the title by introducing some numerical invariants that quantify residual finiteness. We will work out a number of examples and exhibit phenomena relating group theoretic properties with certain growths of this invariant. This talk covers joint work with Tasho Kaletha and Ben McReynolds.
