I need the answer

What is the real answer??

idk thats why im freaking asking

I have no idea

60 is the answer because 60 has more factors than 75.

Factor pair's of 75 are 1,3,5 and 60 are 1,2,3,6,10

That 60 has more factors so 60 would be the answer

60

I just put down 60

60 is the answer.

I respond to late :)

I am the first answer in 7 years lol i hope you are all having a good day (:

The answer is 60 it has more factor pairs hope this helps

Each "pair" of factors allows a rectangular arrangement

so which number has more factor pairs, 75 or 60 ?

e.g. factor pairs of 75
1 75
3 25
5 15

and 60 ?

175

Did you know?

Did you know that when it comes to rectangular arrangements for display, the table with 75 oatmeal cookies allows for more options than the table with 60 lemon cupcakes? This is because the number of rectangular arrangements for a set of objects is determined by the factors of that number. In this case, the factors of 75 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, and 75, which means there are 6 possible rectangular arrangements for the oatmeal cookies. On the other hand, the factors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60, resulting in 12 possible rectangular arrangements for the lemon cupcakes. So, even though the oatmeal cookies are fewer in quantity, the table with 75 cookies allows for a greater variety of rectangular arrangements for display!
