Using the greatest common factor, the number of light bulbs in each box is 24.

What is the greatest common factor?

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the number that can divide two or more numbers without a remainder.

The GCF is a divisor that divides dividends evenly, leaving only quotients without remainders.

For instance, the greatest common factor of 120, 168, and even 288 is 24.

Using this GCF implies that 24 can divide 120, 168, and 288 without leaving any remainders.

                                            Company A      Company B        Total

Total orders for light bulbs         120                     168             288

Greatest common factor of          24                      24               24

Number of boxes delivered           5                        7                12

Thus, with the greatest common factor as 24 light bulbs in each box, Company A will be supplied 5 boxes, while Company B will be supplied with 7 boxes.
