Question

Shady Grove Middle School is having an outdoor activity day. Each grade can have several teams, but the size of the team must be the same for each grade. There are 108 seventh graders and 102 eighth graders. How many students can be on each team?

Answer 1

I’m guessing you would need to find the GCF of both numbers.

108: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 54, 108
102: 1, 2, 3, 6, 17, 34, 51, 102

Both has the GCF of 6 (if that’s how you word it)

Your answer would be 6 students on each team. And I have no idea if it’s called GCF for both numbers. Probably is, but eh.
