Answer:

3 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose there are  

x

bags of candy.

If the  

33

blue gumballs are to be split evenly with no leftovers among the  

x

bags, then  

x

must divide evenly into  

33

.

If the  

24

green gumballs are to be split evenly with no leftovers among the  

x

bags, then  

x

must divide evenly into  

24

.

To get the largest number of bags (

x

),

x

must be the Greatest Common Divisor of  

33

and  

24

Factoring:

33

=  

3

×

8

24

=  

2

×

2

×

2

×

3

The only common factor is  

3

and therefore the product of the common factors is  

3

or, in other words,

the Greatest Common Factor is  

x

=

3
