Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to find the largest common factor. The way I did it was by listing out all of the factors of each number, then going through all of them and finding the largest common factor which was 8.

Answer:

8 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common, GCF question and the question becomes, what number is the GCF of 40 and 24.

40= 2x2x2x5

24=2x2x2x3

Both share 2x2x2, which is 8 so the largest number of pencils in each pack is 8.
