notepads to the class. what is the maximum number of students a class can have for each student to share the
pencils and the notepads equally? how many pencils and how many notepads will each student receive?
(15points)

The maximum number of students a class can have for each student to share the  pencils and the notepads equally = 28

Each student will receive 5 pencils and 3 notepads.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of pencils = 140

Number of notepads = 84

The maximum number of students a class can have for each student to share the  pencils and the notepads equally  = Greatest common factor of (140 , 84)

Prime factorization of 140 and 84  :

140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7

84= 2 x 2 x 3 x 7

GCF (140, 84)= 2 x 2 x 7 = 28

i.e. The maximum number of students a class can have for each student to share the  pencils and the notepads equally = 28

Number of pencil each student will receive =

Number of notepads each student will receive =

Hence, each student will receive 5 pencils and 3 notepads.
