Answer 1

Answer:

Neha can give to 8 different possible combination of class:

1. One stamp each to 36 classmates

2. Two stamps each to 18 classmates

3. Three stamps each to 12 classmates

4. Four stamps each to 9 classmates

5. Six stamps each to 6 classmates

6. Nine stamps each to 4 classmates

7. Twelve stamps each to 3 classmates

8. Eighteen stamps each to 2 classmates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36

We can use these factors to determine how Neha can fulfill her intent.

1. If there are 36 classmates, she can give $\frac{36}{36} = 1$ stamp each.

2. If there are 18 classmates, she can give $\frac{36}{18} = 2$ stamps each.

3. If there are 12 classmates, she can give $\frac{36}{12} = 3$ stamps each.

4. If there are 9 classmates, she can give $\frac{36}{9} = 4$ stamps each.

5. If there are 6 classmates, she can give $\frac{36}{6} = 6$ stamps each.

6. If there are 4 classmates, she can give $\frac{36}{4} = 9$ stamps each.

7. If there are 3 classmates, she can give $\frac{36}{3} = 12$ stamps each.

8. If there are 2 classmates, she can give $\frac{36}{2} = 18$ stamps each.

9. If there is only 1 classmate, she can give $\frac{36}{1} = 36$, that is, all her  stamps to her only classmate.  However, this is different from giving equal number of stamps to each of her classmates.  Hence, we cannot take this option.  Therefore, she can give to 8 different possible combination of class.
