Mary has 60 candy pieces and 45 chocolates. She wants to distribute the candy to her little sister's friends at her birthday party so that each friend gets an equal number of candies and an equal number of chocolates. What should be the smallest number of her sister's friends for the distribution of candy and chocolate so each friend gets an equal number of candy pieces and chocolates in a way that there should not be left any chocolate or candy pieces left over

5 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Candy pieces = 60

Chocolate = 45

What should be the smallest number of her sister's friends for the distribution of candy and chocolate so each friend gets an equal number of candy pieces and chocolates in a way that there should not be left any chocolate or candy pieces left over?

To calculate this, find the lowest factor of 60 and 45

60:

Factors = 2, 4, 5, 6,

45:

Factors= 3, 5, 9

The lowest common factor of 60 and 45 is 5

The smallest number of her sister's friend so each person get an equal number of candy pieces and chocolate so there won't be any leftover is 5

That is

If there are 5 friends at the birthday party

60 candy pieces among 5 friends

= 60/5

= 12 pieces each

45 chocolate among 5 friends

= 45/5

= 9 each
