Pamela sanders needs to pack 47 coat hangers. Can you recommend how she could tie them together in a number of equal-size groups greater than 1 and less than 47.

Answer:

Such grouping is not possible.

Explanation:

47 is a prime number. It is only divisible by 1 and 47, so no grouping into equal-size groups is possible for numbers other than those.
