Brooke has 24 pencils and 36 erasers. If she makes identical goodie bags for her friends with no pencils or erasers left over, what is the greatest number of snack bags Brooke can make?

I think the answer is 12 because the greatest common factor of 24 and 36 is 12.

Hope this helped☺☺

(That means each goody bag will have 2 pencils and 3 erasers)
