Ronald is distributing writing supplies to campers. he must give the same number of supplies to each camper and use all the supplies. he has 14 pencils and 21 note pads. what is the greatest number of campers he can give writing supplies?

Robert can give writing supplies to at most 7 campers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that Robert must give the same number of supplies to each camper and use all the supplies. It means that the greatest number of campers that Robert can give writing supplies is the greatest common divisor(gcd) between the number of pencils and the number of note pads.

The gcd between two integers is the largest positive number that divides each of the integers. We can find this value by prime factorization.

The problem states that he has 14 pencils and 21 note pads. So we have to find gcd(14,21).

21 is not divisible by 2, so we try factoring by 3

14 is not divisible by 3, so we try factoring by 5

None of them are divisible by 5, so we move to 7

Both are divisible by 7, so

14 - 21 | 7

2  - 3

2<7, 3<7, so gcd(14,21) = 7.

Robert can give writing supplies to at most 7 campers.

are you an artist's daughter? cuz dang you a fine piece of art, girl.

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
