Question

Elizabeth is posting 12 flyers for the science club and 20 for the music club. She wants to make all the locations identical, with the same combination of science club flyers and music club flyers. In addition, she wants to make sure that no flyers are left over. What is the greatest number of locations that Elizabeth can post at?

Answer 1

we have the following:

in this case we must find the largest divisor between the numbers 12 and 20, this number is 4:

`\begin{gathered} (12)/(4)=3 \\ (20)/(4)=5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore 3 flyers for the science club and 5 flyers for the music club. And it would be 4 places
