Question

Chin-Tan found 52 action figures for his yard sale.
He wants to put them in more than 1 box, but fewer than 5 boxes.
Each box will have the same number of figures.
How many boxes can Chin-Tan use? Explain.

Answer 1

The factor of 52 between 1and 5 is 2 and 4

So he can use 2 box if he want to put 26 figures in each box

Moreover he can also use 4 boxes and can put 13 figures in each box
