Dividing 56 Apples into Equal Groups
To find the largest number of apples that can be in each group when dividing 56 apples into equal groups, we need to determine the factors of 56. The factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, and 56.
Explanation:
- 2 apples: If we divide 56 apples into groups of 2, we would have 28 groups. This is the largest number of apples per group.
- 4 apples: If we divide 56 apples into groups of 4, we would have 14 groups. This is a smaller number of apples per group compared to dividing by 2.
- 7 apples: If we divide 56 apples into groups of 7, we would have 8 groups. This is a smaller number of apples per group compared to dividing by 2.
- 8 apples: If we divide 56 apples into groups of 8, we would have 7 groups. This is the largest number of apples per group among the options given.
Therefore, the largest number of apples that can be in each group when dividing 56 apples into equal groups is 8 apples.
