Lavinia has 9 glasses and 6 mugs . she would like to set them out in identical groups with none left over in preparation for a party. What is the greatest number of groups Lavinia can set out
Accepted Solution
A:
You must find the factors of each number... 9 = 1, 3, 3, 9 6 = 1, 2, 3, 6
Next, determine the common multiple... 9 = 1, 3, 3, 9 6 = 1, 2, 3, 6
Therefore, the most groups Lavinia can make without any glasses or mugs left to spare is 3.
