Apples and pears

Mom divided 24 apples and 15 pears among the children. Each child received the same number of apples and pears - the same number as their siblings. How many apples (j=?) and pears (h=?) were received for each child?

Final Answer:

j =  8
h =  5

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} 24=2^3\cdot 3 \\ 15=3\cdot 5 \\ \text{GCD}(24,15)=3 \\ d=GCD(24,15)=3 \\ j=24/d=24/3=8 \end{gathered}$$

$h=15/d=15/3=5$
