$To \; find \; the \; maximum \; number \; of \; items \; possible \; in each \; packet,\\we \; need \; to \; find \; the \; Greatest \; Common \; Factor\\ \; of \; 527 \; Pencils, \; 646 \; erasers \; and \; 748 \; sharpeners.\\\\We \; need \; to \; list \; the \; Factors \; of \; each \; number \; as \; given \; below\\ \; and \; identify \; the \; greatest \; common \; factor.$

$The \; factors \; of \; 527 \; are:\\1, \; 17, \; 31, \; 527\\\\The \; factors \; of \; 646 \; are:\\1, \; 2, \; 17, \; 19, \; 34, \; 38, \; 323, \; 646\\\\The \; factors \; of \; 748 \; are:\\1, \; 2, \; 4, \; 11, \; 17, \; 22, \; 34, \; 44, \; 68, \; 187, \; 374, \; 748\\\\Then \; the \; greatest \; common \; factor \; is \; 17.$

$Conclusion: \\There \; will \; 31 \; Pencils, \; 38 \; Erasers,\\ \; and \; 44 \; Sharpeners \; in \; each \; of \; SEVENTEEN \; packet.$
