GUYS PLEASE HELP ME. I AM ANNOYED OF THIS SO PLEASE

For a hobby, Chloe likes to make her own greeting cards. She is getting ready to make Thank You cards. She has 78 small flowers and 65 small birds that she can glue onto the cards for decoration. Chloe is going to use all the flowers and all the birds to make as many cards as she can. She also wants to be sure to have the same number of flowers on each card and the same number of birds on each card.

How many Thank You cards can she make?
How many flowers and birds will be on each card?

hmm, she wants to find the largest number that both can divide into
sounds like we need to find the greatest common factor

factor both numbers

78=2*3*13
65=5*13

the common numbers in both are 13
so the greatest common factor is 13

she can make 13 cards

how many birds and flowers on each?
78 flowers
78/13=6

65 birds
65/13=5

6 flowers and 5 birds on each card






13 thank you cards can be made
6 flowers and 5 birds will be on each card
