    32 girls and 52 boys were on an overseas learning trip . They were divided into as many groups as possible where the number of groups of girls and the number of groups of boys is the same .how many boys and how many girls were in each group

    We want a number such that our total members divided by this number equals our group size.

    We take the greatest common factor (32,52) = 4

    Therefore, we have:
    • 32/4 = 8 girls in each group
    • 52/4 = 13 boys in each group
