Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor  (GCF) of 18, 24, and 30 is 6. :)

Victor can make at most 6 bags with equal numbers of each type of cookie.

_____

18 = 6×3

24 = 6×4

30 = 6×5

One way to look for the GCF is to consider the differences between the numbers. The smallest difference between any pair is 6, which also divides all of the numbers evenly. Hence 6 is the GCF.
