Question

Tim has a bag of 36 orange-flavoured sweets and Peter has a bag of 44 grape-flavoured sweets. They have to divide up the sweets into small trays with equal number of sweets; each tray containing either orange-flavoured or grape-flavoured sweets only. If there is no remainder, find the largest possible number of sweets in each tray.

Answer 1

the largest possible number for each would be dividing it by two so 36 divided by two is 18 and 44 divided by two is 22

so for the orange the largest number would be 18

and for the grape the largest number would be 22
