The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72 .

The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48 .

The factors common to both 72 and 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 .

The greatest one of those is 24 .

First, find all the factors of the two numbers (separately):
72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72
48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
The numbers in bold are factors of both 72 and 48.
Find the greatest one (out of the numbers in bold). 24 is the GCF.

Answer:

keiko- x

imelda- x+ 36

Sarah- x- 38

Step-by-step explanation:

keiko is x since we have not been given his number of boxes.
because imelda's number of boxes was 36 more than keiko's, you will add the x which is for keiko and 36 for imelda(x+36).
and sarah's number of boxes will be x-36 because we have been told her number of boxes is 38 fewer than  keiko's.
