of pencils and stickers, with none left over. What is the greatest number of
party bags she can make?

Explanation:

It's pretty simple you just need to factor each number and find the number that they have in common.

1. find the factors of 15. factors are the terms (numbers) you need to multiply to get your product (answer to a multiplication problem. the factors of 15 are: 1,3,5,15
2. find the factors of 10. the factors of 10 are: 1,2,5,10
3. If you take a look, the only number (and the smallest number) that these 15 and 10 have in common is 5 and that is your answer
