This is called the culmination of the moon. It also depends on how accurate you need the answer to be, and that in turn depends on why you need this. It also depends on what you mean by "simple". Is trigonometry "simple"? Is geoastro.de/TransitCulm/index.html simple? | |

Just for example see answers to How long does it take for ISS to travel over all possible places of the world one time? and What are the chances that the ISS transits the moon as seen from your house (or headquarters)? | |
