Find the multiples of each number:

16:  2, 4, 8, 16

24: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12

Now for the greatest number of bags, use the greatest common factor.

The greatest common factor is 8

16 / 8 = 2

24 / 8 = 3

She can make 8 bags which contains 2 stickers and 3 bracelets in each bag.

Answer:

8 party bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dealing with greatest common factor.

16= 1,2,4,8

24=1,2,3,4,6,8,12

Now we see the greatest common factor is 8 bags. Since we know its 8 bags, we can make this conclusion. 16/8= 2 stickers each bag. 24/8=3 bracelets each bag. So, the greatest number of party bags she can make is: 8 bags.

More info: 2 stickers each. 3 bracelets each.

Hope this helps! :)
