Question

Jordan bought 12 tennis balls and Annika bought 16. The tennis balls come in packages.Each package has the same number.Ehat is the greatest possible number of tennis balls in each package?

Answer 1

4 tennis balls/package

4 is the GCF of the two numbers. Any numbers higher than these either go into one or neither numbers of tennis balls. The numbers below aren't the greatest number or else don't go into one or neither numbers. Hope this helps!
