Gunnar Meyers · Answer 1

2 players 52/2 = 26 so each player will get 26 with no left overs

Eden Bradford · Answer 2

2, 4, 13 and 26 with each player getting 26, 13, 4 or 2 cared respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of players that can possibly play the game must be equivalent to the factors of the total number of cards available if the game requires that each player gets the same number of cards, and there are no cards remaining.

Given that there are 52 cards, the factors of 52 are 2, 4, 13, and 26 (excluding 52). Hence the number of players that could play the game are 2. 4, 13 and 26
