Eli wants to plant 45 sunflower plants, 81 corn plants and 63 tomato plants in his garden. If he put the same number of plants in each row and each row has only one type of plant, what is the greatest number of plants I can put in one row? Do I use GCF or LCM to solve this question?

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you would use the GCF

Find the GCF of 45, 81, 63

GCF(45, 81, 63) = 9

45 = 9 * 5

81 = 9 *9

63= 9 * 7

Since 5, 9, 7 have no common factors, the GCF has to be 9.

This means that the greatest number of plants he can put in each row is 9.

The number of rows he uses for each plant will (obviously) vary.
