Final answer:

The possible numbers of apples that can go into each bag are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

To sort 20 apples into equal bags, each bag must contain a number of apples. Since every bag must have more than one apple, we need to find all the possible numbers less than 20 that have a remainder of 0 when divided by 20. One way to do this is to list all the factors of 20:

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 4
  4. 5
  5. 10
  6. 20

Therefore, the possible numbers of apples that can go into each bag are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20.
