Carlos is packing sacks for treats at Halloween. Each sack has to have exactly the same in it .he has on hand 96 small candy bars and 64 small popcorn balls.what is the greatest number of treat sacks he can make?
96 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 = 32 * 3
64 = 2*2*2 *2*2*2 = 32 * 2
the biggest common factor is = 2^5 = 32
32 sacks each with 3 candy and 2 popcorn
96: 1, 96, 2, 48, 3, 32, 4, 24, 6, 16, 8, 12
64: 1, 64, 2, 32, 4, 16, 8 and 8 The "and" really means the multiplication way of symbol.
The greatest common factor of treat sack that he can make is 32.
32 * 3 for 96 and 32 * 2 for 64
Don't give up
The greatest common factor of treat sack that he can make is 32.
32 * 3 for 96 and 32 * 2 for 64
So yeah 32
