Question

You are making identical gift bags using 24 candles and 36 bottles of lotion. What is the greatest number of gift bags you can make with no items left over?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

The highest common factor between 24 and 36 is 12.

24: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

36: 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

They both have two 2s and one 3.

in each of the 12 bags, you would put 2 Candles and 3 bottles of lotion. Doesn't look right, but it is.
