Question 53935
Hall and Paul’s party on the Patio must have the same size table, that is, for example, table size for 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, etc. The manager will only order one size table for both parties. Everyone at each party must have a seat and no seats can be empty at any table. Hector will have a total of 180 people. Paul is expecting a total of 84 people. What size table does the manager need to order for both Hector and Paul?
---------------
4 divides 180 evenly.
4 divides 84 evenly.
2 does the same.
Tables of size 2 or 4 would be suitable.
