For football tryouts at a local school, 12 coaches and 42 players will split into groups. Each group have the same number of coaches and players. What is the greatest number of groups that can be formed? How many coaches and players will be in each of these groups?

If you were to divide 42 and 12 the quotient would be 3.5, but since there must be an equal number there should be 4 groups.
