If five black (7 units) rods are used to make a one-color train and nine black rods are used to make a second one-color train, what information about common factors or common multiples does this provide?

1 answer

This information about the number of black rods used to make two one-color trains does not provide any direct information about common factors or common multiples. To determine common factors or common multiples, we would need information about the lengths of the rods or any other common characteristics between the two trains.
