189 apples in a basket. How many children can share them equally? Give all possible answers.
To determine how many children can share the 189 apples equally, we need to find the factors of 189. The factors of 189 are 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 27, 63, and 189. So, the possible answers are:
- 1 child can have all 189 apples
- 3 children can have 63 apples each
- 7 children can have 27 apples each
- 9 children can have 21 apples each
- 21 children can have 9 apples each
- 27 children can have 7 apples each
- 63 children can have 3 apples each
- 189 children can have 1 apple each
To find out how many children can share the 189 apples equally, we need to divide 189 by all possible factors of 189. Here are the factors of 189:
1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 27, 63, 189
Dividing 189 by each of these factors gives us the following results:
189 ÷ 1 = 189
189 ÷ 3 = 63
189 ÷ 7 = 27
189 ÷ 9 = 21
189 ÷ 21 = 9
189 ÷ 27 = 7
189 ÷ 63 = 3
189 ÷ 189 = 1
Hence, the possible answers are: 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 27, 63, and 189.
