Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

Number of flowers = 100

He wants to put the same number of flowers in each vase. To obtain this, we must find out the factor pairs of 100. We have:


\begin{gathered} 100=100\cdot1\Rightarrow100flowers,1vase \\ 100=50\cdot2\Rightarrow50flowers,2vases \\ 100=25\cdot4\Rightarrow25flowers,4vases \\ 100=20\cdot5\Rightarrow20flowers,5vases \\ 100=10\cdot10\Rightarrow10flowers,10vases \\ 100=5\cdot20\Rightarrow5flowers,20vases \\ 100=4\cdot25\Rightarrow4lowers,25vases \\ 100=2\cdot50\Rightarrow2flowers,50vases \\ 100=1\cdot100\Rightarrow1flower,100vases \end{gathered}
