Red flowers = 1826
Yellow flowers = 2486
Formula used:
We need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers to determine the largest possible equal groups.
Calculation:
Finding GCD of 1826 and 2486
Prime factorization:
1826 = 2 × 11 × 83
2486 = 2 × 11 × 113
Common factors = 2 × 11
GCD = 2 × 11 = 22
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
