Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Shaquira has made 86 chocolate chip cookies and 42 sugar cookies.
Shaquira wants to create identical packages of cookies to sell, and she must use all of the cookies.
Now, the greatest number of identical packages that Shaquira can make= GCD of 86 and 42
Prime factorization of 86 and 42:
86 = 2 ×43
42 = 2 × 3 × 7
GCD of 86 and 42 = 2 [GCD = greatest common factor]
Hence, the greatest number of identical packages that Shaquira can make =2
