What is the greatest common factor of 12 and 18?
A gardener wants to plant 18 orange and 12 blue flowers in rows with the same numbers of orange and blue flowers in each row. She thinks there are four possibilities to do so. Is she right?
- AYes
- BNo
How many rows would she get in each of the four possibilities?
- A1, 3, 4, or 5
- B2, 3, 4, or 5
- C1, 2, 3, or 4
- D2, 3, 4, or 6
- E1, 2, 3, or 6
The diagram represents the four possibilities using the four common factors of 18 and 12. Which common factor leads to largest number of rows?
