Find the GCF of 45, 90, 75: which is 15

So he can make 15 stones total.

Divide each of the color numbers by 15 to get the number of tiles he uses in each stone

The Greatest Common Factor: ( 45, 90 , 75 ) = 15
The greatest number of stones Marco can make is 15.
45 : 15 = 3
90 : 15 = 6
75 : 15 = 5
He will use:  3 red, 6 blue and 5 yellow tiles in each stone.
