There are 32 forwards and 80 guards in Leo's basketball league.

Leo must include all players on a team and wants each team to have the same number of forwards and the same number of guards.
If Leo creates the greatest number of teams possible, how many guards will be on each team?

The greatest common factor is the product of shared primes of the numbers prime factorizations.

32=2*2*2*2*2, 80=2*2*2*2*5 So the GCF is 2*2*2*2=16

So there will be 16 teams with 2 forwards and 5 guards each.
