A football coach divides 42 players and 12 coaches into groups. Each group will have the same number of players and coaches. What is the greatest number of groups that can be formed?
a. 12 groups
b. 6 groups
c. 2 groups
d. 4 groups
My answer is 6 groups because I found out what the greatest common factor is of 42 and 12 which is 6
Can you please double check my answer and let me know if I got it right.
Then the question asks to Use the greatest common factor from the problem above to rewrite the Distributive Property. What numbers am I supposed to use to do the distributive property?
Can you please explain?
Thank you
