Question

Bridget has 32 pencils and 48 pens she wants to make identical bags of pencils and pens to give to her friend what is the highest number of friends that she can give a bag to and have nothing left over?

Answer 1

You’re just looking for the greatest common factor here which would be 16 as 32/16=2 (a whole number) and 48/16=3 (a whole number)

Hope this helps :))
