Nadya has 36 blueberries and 45 raspberries that she will be putting into cups of yogurt to make after-school snacks. She wants to put an equal number of blueberries and an equal number of raspberries into each cup. She uses all the berries.
The greatest number of cups Nadya can make is how much?

Using GCF (The Greatest Common Factor) the answer = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The values 36, 45

Solution by Factorization:

The factors of 36 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

The factors of 45 are: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45

Both 45 and 36 have factors of 1, 2, 3, and 9

1 is less than 2, so 1 is out

2 is less than 3, so 3 is out

9 is greater than 3, so 3 is out

9 is the greatest!

Therefore, the greatest common factor is 9.

The greatest number of cups Nadya can make is 9 cups.

Hope this helps!

Have a good evening! :)
