Given:
3 red candies
6 blue candies
14 pink candies

Condition:
Split into bags where candies have an equal number of red, blue, and pink candies.

There can only be 3 bags. Each containing 1 red candy, 2 blue candies, and 4 pink candies. There will be an excess of 2 pink candies.

This division is solely reliant on the number of red candies available because it is the color that has the smallest number of candies.
