Answer:

Explanation:

What the question is basically asking you is the greatest common factor, or the greatest number of packages which you can divide by 72 and 24 to have an integer-number of packages.

72 = 2 * 36 = 2 * 6 * 6 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

24 = 3 * 8 = 3 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

The greatest common factor would be 24, or 24 packages. The greatest number of packages Zayed can make is 24.
