Answer: 8

Explanation:

Factorise 16 : 4 x 4 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

Factorise 20 : 5 x 4 x 2 x 2

The GCF is the greatest common factor.

Since the GCF of the numbers 16 and 20 is 4 x 2 = 8.

So, the greatest number of flower boxes Luis can plant using all the bellflowers and roses are 8.

I really hope this is correct, sorry if it's incorrect!
8 because you it is the greatest common factor of 16 and 20
