Mr. smith has 84 pear trees and 180 apple trees. he wants to plant the trees in rows of equal width. what is the largest amount of trees that can be planted in a row if each row has only one type of tree?

what math concept would you use to solve this problem?

It this case, given that there are 84 pear trees and 180 apple trees, there would be a total of 264. Since it is indicated that per row, there should only be one kind of tree, this would mean that in each row, there should only be 6 trees, maximum. In this case, there will be 14 rows of pear trees and 30 rows of apple trees. Hope this helps.
