(a)
Factors of 26: 1, 2, 13, 26
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
First common factor = 1
Second common factor = 2
Minimum number of bags = 2
(b)
Number of beads in each bag
= 26 ÷ 2
= 13
(c)
Number of stickers in each bag
= 24 ÷ 2
= 12
(d)
Number of stickers and beads in each bag
= 13 + 12
= 25
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 13; (c) 12; (d) 25
