Question

Find the greatest number of students to whom 45 soccer balls and 60 tennis balls can be equally divided.

Answer 1

• Soccer balls=45
• Tennis balls=60

Find Greatest common multiple or GCF

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 45=3* 3* 5`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 60=2* 2* 3* 5`

Now

`\\ \sf\longmapsto GCF=3* 5=15`

Answer 2

• 15 students

Explanation:

Find GCF of 45 and 60:

• 45 = 3*3*5
• 60 = 2*2*3*5

GCF(45,60) = 3*5 = 15
