There are 16 sixth graders and 20 seventh graders in the Robotics Club. For the first project, the club sponsor wants to organize the club members into equal-size groups. Each group will have only sixth graders or only seventh graders. How many students will be in each group if each group has the greatest possible number of club members?

Because you cannot add the two numbers you must find a common denominator for 16 and 20. This answer is 4. The greatest number of group members possible is 4.
