24 coloring books, 60 crayons, and 84 markers can be packaged into at most how many identical packages? How many of each would each package contain?

First, determine the greatest common factor (GCF) of 24, 60, and 84 using our GCF calculator.
GCF(24, 60, 84) = 12

So we have 12 identical packages.

Now, figure out how many coloring books, crayons, and markers for each package
  • 24/12 = 2 coloring books
  • 60/12 = 5 crayons
  • 84/12 = 7 markers
So we have 12 identical packages, each containing 2 coloring books, 5 crayons, and 7 markers
