Question

In Arizona, there are 28 species of amphibians and 52 species of snakes. An employee at a museum is arranging photos of these species on a wall. The photos will be placed in rows. Each row will have the same number of species of amphibians and the same number of species of snakes. The employee wants to make as many rows of photos as possible. How many rows can the employee make. Plz I need help with this

Answer 1

what you want to do is simply identify the greatest common factor of 28 and 52

after factoring both all the way down, we see that this number is 4

so the maximum number of rows is 4

(there will be 7 amphibians and 13 snakes in each row)
