Mr. Hill has 27 students in his class and Mr. Chang has 24 students in his class. Both classes will be divided into equal sized teams within their own classes. What is the greatest number of students that can be on team so that all the teams are an equal number?

25! 27+24=51 if you divide 51 by two, you get 25.5
Because we can’t have a 0.5th of a child, you can round down to the nearest whole number. Leaving you with 25. Hope this helped :)

(modulus division works well for these kinds of questions)
