Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Bryan is making balloon Arrangements he has 8 blue and 12 cream balloons.

Then , to find the greatest amount of Arrangements he can make if he wants them to be identical we need to find the greatest common factor (G.C.F.) of 8 and 12.

Prime factorization of 8 and 12:-

$8=2\times2\times2\\\\12=2\times2\times3$

GCF of 8 and 12 = $2\times2=4$

Hence, the greatest amount of Arrangements he can make if he wants them to be identical = 4.
