Answer:

12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Eighth grade student = 72

Sixth grade student = 84

To group the students into the largest possible equal group with no student left, obtain the greatest common factor of the number of sixth grade and eighth grade student

Factors of 72:

72 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36

84 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 81

The greatest factor common in both numbers is 12.
