Answer 1

A costume designer has 36 bat buttons and 18 black cat buttons she must use to create costumes

To find the largest number of costumes we take GCF

GCF gives the largest and greatest number of grouping

WE find GCF of 36 and 18

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 are the factors of 18

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 are the factors of 36

Greatest common factor GCF is 18

So , 18 is the largest number of costumes she can make.
