a citrus farmer wants to plant 24 lemon trees and 30 orange trees in equal rows. he wants the same number of each type in each row. what are the possible number of fruit trees that could be in each row?
Try it with two rows, then six rows, then three rows.
To find the possible number of fruit trees that could be in each row, we need to find the factors of both 24 and 30. The factors of a number are the numbers that divide evenly into it without leaving a remainder.
First, let's find the factors of 24:
The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.
Now, let's find the factors of 30:
The factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, and 30.
To have an equal number of trees for lemons and oranges in each row, we need to find the common factors of both 24 and 30.
The common factors of 24 and 30 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.
So, the possible number of fruit trees that could be in each row are 1, 2, 3, and 6.
