Question

Goodies Gumballs has a bag with 21 pink gumballs, 14 blue gumballs, and 35 white gumballs. What is the greatest common factor Goodies can use to divide the gumballs into equal groups?

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Goodies Gumballs has a bag with 21 pink gumballs, 14 blue gumballs, and 35 white gumballs.

Then, the greatest common factor Goodies can use to divide the gumballs into equal groups will be the greatest common factor (GCF) of 21 , 14 and 35.

Prime of  21 ,14 and 35 will be :-

$21=3\times7\\\\14=2\times7\\\\35=5\times7$

We can see that GCF(21, 14 , 35)=7

Hence, the  greatest common factor Goodies can use to divide the gumballs into equal groups  =7.

Answer 2

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

7 goes into each group

21÷7=3

14÷7=2

35÷7=5
