Jack is making snack bags. He has 18 baby carrots and 42 pretzels. He wants to divide them equally among the bags. What is the greatest number of snack bags he can make?

Find the Greatest Common Factor of (18, 42) = 6

6 bags for 18 carrots = 3 carrots per bag
6 bags for 42 pretzels = 7 pretzels per bag

6 bags is the answer
