Kerry invited 23 friends to his pool party. They played a game where everyone had to separate into groups. Each group had the same number of children. The game could not be played with all 24 children in one group, and each group had to have more than 2 children. Which of the following are ways that they could divide into groups? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

To determine the possible ways to divide the children into groups, we need to find the factors of 23 (excluding 1 and 23, as each group must have more than 2 children).

The factors of 23 are: 1 and 23.

Thus, the possible ways to divide the children into groups are 23 children in one group and 1 child in another group.

Therefore, the answer is: None of the above.
