By finding common factors, we conclude that we can divide the trees in 6 or in 9 parts, but not in 8.

We know that each of these parts needs to have the same number of each type of trees.

So we need to see if 6, 8, or 9, are common factors between 36 and 54.

First:

6*6 = 36

9*4 = 36

So 9 and 6 are factors of 36.

And 9*6 = 54

So 9 and 6 are factors of 54.

(8 is not a factor of neither)

So 9 and 6 are common factors between 36 and 54.

Then we can divide the trees in 6 or in 9 parts, but not in 8.
