    Find the greatest common factor of each flower:

    White roses = 54 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54

    Red roses = 72 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

    Pink roses = 108 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 108

    The common factors of all three are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.

    The greatest common factor is 18, so he can make 18 bouquets.

    Divide the total red roses by 18:

    72 / 18 = 4

    There will be 4 red roses in each bouquet.
