There are multiple answers: • if he has 36 vases, he would be able to put one tulip in each. • if he has 18 vases, he would be able to put two tulips in each • if he has 12 vases, he would be able to put three tulips in each • if he has 9 vases, he would be able to put four tulips in each • if he has 6 vases, he would be able to put six tulips in each • if he has 4 vases, he would be able to put nine tulips in each • if he has 3 vases, he would be able to put twelve tulips in each • if he has 2 vases, he would be able to put eighteen tulips in each 
 Essentially you are looking to find out what the multiples are and then dividing to find the number of tulips.

To find out how many tulips could be in each vase, divide the total number of tulips by the number of vases. The number of tulips in each vase will be the same. ;

EmilyJeanStone · Answer

James can distribute 36 tulips evenly into different numbers of vases based on the factors of 36. The possible numbers of tulips per vase include 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36, depending on how many vases he uses. For example, if he uses 6 vases, there would be 6 tulips in each vase.
