You are making identical gift bags using 24 candles and 36 bottles of lotion. What is the greatest number of gift bags you can make with no items left over?
We take the greatest common factor GCF (24, 36) = 12
So we have a ratio of 24/12 = 2 candles and 36/12 = 3 bottles of lotion per bag giving us 12 bags.
