Being in the millitary you cant form a formation more than 6 columns but we dont care about the extra straglers tagged to the end.
does this include squad leader? squad leader removes one person from each formation and they call out marching orders and cadance.
but for your question
the common factors of each number is
2,5,3 (32)
and
2,2,2,7,11 (616)
you take it from there.
correction to common factors for 32
2,2,2,2,2
i factored 30 by accident it happens
