Question

Sam has 39 pencils and 26 pens to distribute to his classmates? Each student must receive the same amount of pens and pencils and there will be no pens or pencils left. What is the greatest number of students in that class

Answer 1

13 students

Explanation:

We have to find the common multiple for each object. And we know that we have 39 penciles and 26 pens. The common multiple for both would be 13. 39/13 = 3 and 26/13 = 2 From there we learn that each student would get 3 penciles and 2 pens
