if there are 180 gold candels and 108 gray candles, how many chandeliers to be most cost effective and having the same number of gray candles in each chandelier, and the same number of golden candles in each chandelier? There must be the maximum number if chandeliers and no candles can go to waste.

Since  180  =  9 x 4 x 5   --->   36 chandeliers each containing 5 gold candles

            108  =  9 x 4 x 3   --->   36 chandeliers each containing 3 gray candles

So my guess is 36.
