There are 28 glue sticks, 14 erasers, and 7 packages of notebook paper to be boxed. Each box must contain only one type of item and every item must be boxed. What is the most that can be placed in a box so that each box has the same number of items?

Put 14 erasers in 2 boxes, 7 erasers per box.

Put 28 glue sticks in 4 boxes, 7 glue sticks per box.
