Question

Jim’s soccer team is making fruit baskets for a fundraiser. They have 88 peaches, 60 bananas, and 54 kiwis to use. If each baskets have the same numbers of each type, what is the greatest number of fruit baskets they can make?

Answer 1

2 baskets

Explanation:

so basically find LCM(least common multiple) of 88, 60 and 54. prime factor 88 to get 2^3, and 11, 60 for 2^2, 3, 5 and 54 for 3^3, 2. we then find the numbers that are in all of them which is only two, once
