t Mr. McBerry’s farm, new fruit trees are being planted. There are 160 pear trees, 224 peach trees, and 320 plum trees. Find the maximum number of trees that can be planted in each row if Mr. McBerry wants the same number of trees in each row.(1 point)
__ trees planted in a row
To find the maximum number of trees that can be planted in each row, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the given numbers.
The factors of 160 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160.
The factors of 224 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 112, 224.
The factors of 320 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 160, 320.
The common factors of all three numbers are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
Therefore, the maximum number of trees that can be planted in each row is 16.
