Jacqueline wants to make as many identical bouquets as possible using all flowers she has. What is the biggest number of such bouquets can be made out of 42 carnations, 36 tulips and 54 daffodils?

Answer 1

The greatest common factor of 42 , 36, and 54 is 6.

Therefore, the greatest number of bouquets will be 6. Each bouquet will have 7 carnations, 6 tulips, and 9 daffodils. (NOTE : 7 * 6 = 42; 6 * 6 = 36; 9 * 6 = 54)
