You are making necklaces for your friends. you have 72 blue beads and 42 red beads. each friend will receive an identical necklace, and all beads must be used. what is the greatest number of friends who can receive a necklace? explain your reasoning. how many of each color bead will each friend receive on the necklace? explain your reasoning.

The greatest number of friends who can receive a necklace is 6. The reason why is because 6 is the greatest common factor of 72 and 42.

Each friend will have 12 blue beads and 7 red beads. If you divide 6 (GCF) with both numbers you get 12 and 7.

Hope this helps :3
