Question

Dianne is making identical balloon arrangements for a party. She has 72 maroon balloons and 108 gold balloons. She wants each arrangement to have the same number of each color. What is the greatest number of arrangements that she can make if every balloon is used?

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution::

Maroon Balloons:72

Gold Balloons:108

If highest we take HCF

Highest Common Factor

72√108. DiVide

Reminder:36

Then we divide previous divisor i.e. 72 by that question remainder 36 i.e.

36√72

remainder will be 0

So maximum Number of Balloons is

36
