wants each party favor to include the same combination of pencils and stickers, with none left
over. What is the greatest number of party favors she can make?
Pls helppp

Answer 1

Each party favor will have 23 pencils and 4 stickers.

Explanation:

Betty can make the greatest number of party favors by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 46 and 8. The GCD of 46 and 8 is 2. So Betty can make a maximum of 2 party favors with the same combination of pencils and stickers, with none left over. Each party favor will have 23 pencils and 4 stickers.
