how

Answer 5

Well first find the greatest common factor of 20 and 4

Answer 6

its 20

Answer 7

or 5

Answer 8

None, unfortunately because if you divide 20/5 = 4 (that's good) but 5/4 = 1.25 (not good)

Answer 9

You need to find a number that can be used to divide both 20 and 4 and get a whole number, not a decimal.

Answer 10

Factors of 20 - 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Factors of 4 - 1, 2, 4
