    9 math books

    6 reading books

    First we need to find the greatest common factor.

    in this case it would be 3.

    9 : 3 = 3

    6 : 3 = 2

    Here we have our answer

    since 3 is not an even number it cannot be split evenly which means each bookcase will have at least 3 math books on it - and 2 reading books as well

    *bookcase 1:

    3 (math)

    2 (reading

    *bookcase 2:

    3 (math)

    2 (reading)

    *bookcase 3:

    3 (math)

    2 (reading
