Question

Is there

a way to place 29 books on shelves so
that each shelf has the same number of books,
with more than one book on each shelf?
Explain.

Answer 1

29 is only divisible by 1 and 29

so

you could either do one on each shelf or all 29 on one shelf

Answer 2

no

Explanation:

no because 29 is a prime number, meaning its only factors are 1 and 29. if you were to have more than 1 book on each shelf then you would go into half and quarters of books.
