So here is the question,
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?
To avoid having left over items, you must find the highest common factor of both items. This will mean the items divide equally between the bags, but also that you get the most possible bags created. The highest common factor for 24 and 36 is 12. In each of the 12 bags, you can have two candles and three bottles of lotion.
