Juanita wants to give bags of stickers to her friends. She wants to give the same number of stickers to each friend. She's not sure if she needs 4 bags or 6 bags of stickers.
How many stickers could she buy so there are no stickers left over? explain
To find the number of stickers, you need to find the LCM of the number of bags. Number of bags are either 4 or 6. 4 = 2*2 = 2² 6 = 2*3 So LCM = 2² * 3 = 12
So she could to buy 12 stickers. So if she needs 4 bags, she will put 3 stickers in each of them and if she needs 6 bags, she will put 2 stickers in each of them and there would be no stickers left.
