You are making balloon arrangements for a birthday party. There are 16 white balloons and 24 red balloons. Each arrangement must be identical. What is the greatest number of arrangements you can make using every balloon?

lol I'm doing the same thing

This is basically a GCF problem. To find the GCF, we list the factors of each number.

24 = 1×24, 2×12, 4×6, 8×3 ...

16 = 1×16, 2×8, 4×4, ...

The greatest common factor is 8 because it is the greatest factor we can find.
So 8 arrangements

Find the common factor of the balloons

you Know they can just pull up your search history and see what your doing any time they want they do it to me all the time.
