  • The question that is asked in the problem is:
  1. What is the smallest number of pencils that can be packed using the boxes?

What are the given facts in the problem?

  • The given facts in the problem are:
  1. A factory is to pack pencils in boxes of 8 and 10 pieces.

How will you solve the problem?

  • The key to finding the answer, is to find the Greatest Common Factor, the concept of the Greatest Common Factor is to multiply all the primes of two numbers. For this problem, let's determine the primes of 8. That would be 2*2*2. The primes of 10 is 5*2. If we multiply them all together: 2*2*2*5*2 = 80. Then, 80 is the smallest number of pencils that can be packed using the boxes.

Write your answer.
