Question
suppose you have 32 D quaters and 36 P quaters. what is the greatest number of groups you can make with the same number of D quaters in each group and the same number of P quaters in each group so that every quater is placed in a group?

Answer
It looks like this problem is asking for the greatest common divisor of 32 and 36.

If the groups are to be made each with the  same number of quarters and each with the same number pennies, there would be 4 groups.  Each would have 8 quearters and 9 pennies.
