Answer:

18xy

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

72x²y and 18xy

Greatest common factor = ?

GCF is the highest number (or expression) that divides exactly into two or more numbers (or expressions)

<u>Let's find the factors first:</u>

72x²y = 4x*18xy
18xy

We can see the second expression 18xy is the factor of the first expression

Therefore, the 18xy is dividing foth of the expressions, so it is the GCF

Dario buys applesauce for a family reunion. He needs 23 cups, and he buys them in packs of 6. How many packs does Dario need?

hodyreva [135]

He has to buy 4 packs. If you divide 23 by 6, you get 3.833 but you can’t buy a fraction of a pack so you have to round up and buy 4 packs. Hope this made sense; I can explain further if needed!
