Question 1107248
<br>
If the children can be separated evenly into groups of either 5 or 8, then the number of children must be a multiple of both 5 and 8.<br>
That means the number of children must be a multiple of the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 8, which is 40.<br>
The largest multiple of 40 less than 165 is 160.<br>
The largest possible number of children is 160.
