Katelyn and Lydia each picked flowers in a meadow. Katelyn picked 16 flowers and Lydia picked 20 flowers. If the girls are going to divide each group of flowers evenly among the vases, what is the greatest number of vases they can fill?

Answer: 4

Sounds like it’s asking for the greatest common factor - the largest whole number that can be divided by both.

You can find that
16 = 4•4
20=4•5

Since both are divisible by 4, that would be your answer.
