A teacher divides 36 students into equal groups for a scavenger hunt . Each group should have at least 4 students but no more than 8 students , what are the possible group sizes ?
the answer is 6
To find the possible group sizes, you need to consider the different factors of 36 that satisfy the given conditions.
First, let's list the factors of 36:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
However, we need to consider only those factors that are within the range of 4 to 8 students. So, we can eliminate the factors 1, 2, 3, and 36.
The remaining factors that satisfy the conditions are:
4, 6, 9, 12, 18
Therefore, the possible group sizes are 4, 6, 9, 12, and 18 students.
