An event has 20 adults and 15 children. The event planner wants to make each table identical, with the same combination of adults and children and no people left over. What is the greatest number of tables the planner can set up?

20 15 2

10 15 2

5 15 3

5 5 5

1 1

The GCF = 5

So, a table must have 4 adults and 3 children in total there will be 5 tables.
