[Math Revolution GMAT math practice question]

$$120$$ tickets are to be evenly distributed to $$n$$ people. If $$n$$ is greater than $$1$$ and the number of tickets given to each person is greater than $$1$$, what is the greatest possible value of $$n$$?

$$A. 9$$
$$B. 10$$
$$C. 12$$
$$D. 14$$
$$E. 15$$

120 is not even divisible by 14.
SO every person will not get same (evenly distributed) chocolates.
IMO
Ans should be E.
15 people
each person gets 8 chocolates
total= 15*8= 120

=>

$$120 = 2^3*3^1*5^1$$ or $$120 = 8*15.$$
Thus $$15$$ is the greatest factor among choices.
