Question 1191895: MAT 145: Topics In Contemporary Math
Use GCF or LCM to find each of the following.
3) There are 30 people who identify as female and 36 male-identifying people in a bowling
league. The president wants to divide the members into all-make and all-female teams,
each of the same size. Find the number of members and the number of teams for each
gender identification

To figure this out, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 30 and 36. Here's how:
**Factors of 30:** 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
**Factors of 36:** 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
The greatest common factor is 6.
* **Team size:** 6 members
* **Number of female teams:** 30 females / 6 members per team = 5 teams
* **Number of male teams:** 36 males / 6 members per team = 6 teams
