Masha bought 24 snickers, 56 kit kats, and 96 twixes to make identical goody bags with the same number of Snickers, Kit Kats, and Twixes. What is the largest number of identical goody bags that Masha can make, if she wants to use all the candies?

Answer:

  • 8 bags

Explanation:

Get the prime factors of each number and find GCF

  • 24 = 2*2*2*3
  • 56 = 2*2*2*7
  • 96 = 2*2*2*2*2*3

CGF(24, 56, 96) = 2*2*2 = 8

Number of bags is 8

Each bag contains:

  • 3 Snickers, 7 Kit Kats, 12 Twixes
