Example Question #51 : Find Greatest Common Factor And Least Common Multiple: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ns.B.4

Jack purchased  tomato seeds and wants to make bags to sell at the local farmers’ market. If he wants to have at least two bags to sell, many different ways can Jack make seed bags with an equal number of seeds in each bag?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by finding factor pairs. Factor pairs are composed of two numbers that are multiplied together to equal a product. List all the factor pairs of Jack’s seeds.

 -- but note that one bag of 18 seeds does not satisfy the condition that he wants to have at least two bags to sell, so this factorization does not count toward the answer.

 -- two bags of nine seeds each

 -- three bags of six seeds each

Do not forget to list their reciprocals.

 -- six bags of three seeds each

 -- nine bags of two seeds each

 -- eighteen bags of one seed each

Jack can make  different seed bag combinations with an equal number of seeds in each bag.
