Jermaine is buying Halloween candy. Chocolate bars are sold in bags of 48, caramel pieces are sold in bags of 56, licorice are sold in bags of 72, and jelly beans are sold in bags of 64. Jermaine wants to make identical candy bags using all of the candy for 7 of his friends. Jermaine thinks he has enough candy to make only 6 bags. Is Jermaine correct? Why or why not?
correct? Why or why not?

A
Jermaine is correct because the least common multiple of 48, 56, 72, and 64 is 6, so he can make 6 candy bags.

B
Jermaine is incorrect because least common multiple of 48, 56, 72, and 64 is 7, so he can make 7 candy bags.

C
Jermaine is incorrect because the greatest common factor of 48, 56, 72, and 64 is 8, so he can make 8 candy bags.

D
Jermaine is correct because the greatest common factor of 48, 56, 72, and 64 is 6, so he can make 6 candy bags.
