The maximum number of bags is an illustration of the greatest common factor
The maximum number of bags John can make is 8
The given parameters are:
[tex]Chocolate=48[/tex]
[tex]Peanut=56[/tex]
Start by expressing 48 and 56 as a product of their factors.
[tex]Chocolate = 1 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3[/tex]
[tex]Peanut = 1 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7[/tex]
The product of the common factors between the above products is:
[tex]Factors = 1 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2[/tex]
Multiply
[tex]Factors = 8[/tex]
The above represents the greatest common factor of 48 and 56.
Hence, the maximum number of bags John can make is 8
