a football coach divides 42 players into equal groups for a warm up drill.each group should have at least 5 players but no more than 8 players.what are the possible group sizes?
What are the factors of 42?
7x6=42 so around 6 to 7 groups is what you’ll need.
To find the possible group sizes, we need to determine the divisors of 42 that are between 5 and 8 (inclusive).
Step 1: Find the divisors of 42
The divisors of 42 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42.
Step 2: Filter the divisors between 5 and 8
From the divisors listed above, the numbers that fall between 5 and 8 (inclusive) are: 6 and 7.
Therefore, the possible group sizes for the coach to divide the 42 players into equal groups are 6 and 7.
