Abe is going to plant 54 oak trees and 27 pine trees. Abe would like to plant the trees in rows that all have the same number of trees and are made up of only one type of tree. What is the greatest number of trees Abe can have in each row?

When you add the tree together which is 54+27 you’ll get 81

The greatest common factor of 81 is 9

So 9 times 9 =81

The best answer would be 9 rows with 9 trees in each row
