Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : You are making identical gift bags using 24 candles and 36 bottles of lotion .
Then, the greatest number of gift bags you can make with no items left over= greatest common factor of 24 and 36
Prime factorization of 24 and 36 :_
[tex]24=2\times2\times2\times3\\\\ 36=2\times2\times3\times3[/tex]
GCF(24 , 36)= [tex]2\times2\times3=12[/tex]
Hence, the greatest number of gift bags you can make with no items left over =12
