Question

One container of ice cream hold nine scoops of ice cream one package of waffle cones has 12 cones we want to make the fewest number of ice cream cones with one scoop of ice cream on each cone and no ice cream or cones left over what is the least number of ice cream cones we will be able to make

Answer 1

So, we need to find the least common factor between 9 and 12

So,

9 = 3 * 3

12 = 3 * 4

-----------------------

so, the least common factor is 3

So, the answer is 3
