Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : You are making identical gift bags using 24 candles and 36 bottles of lotion .

Then, the greatest number of gift bags you can make with no items left over= greatest common factor of 24 and 36

Prime factorization of 24 and 36 :_

$24=2\times2\times2\times3\\\\ 36=2\times2\times3\times3$

GCF(24 , 36)= $2\times2\times3=12$

Hence, the greatest number of gift bags you can make with no items left over =12
