Question

Jen collects toy sports cars. she has 288 orange cars and 192 green cars. she wants to line up the cars in groups so that each group has the same number of cars and contains only orange cars or only green cars. what is the largest number o cars that she can have in a group?

Answer 1

we calculate the gcd of 288 and 192

Euclid's method:

288 = 1*192 + 96

192 = 2*96 + 0

The GCD is equal to the last non-zero remainder: 96.

it can have a maximum of 96 cars in a group
