Answer:

The greatest number of skateboards that can be stored would be the number that is the highest common factor of 8, 12, and 16


Factors of 8 = 1, 2, 4, 8

Factors of 12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Factors of 16 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16


The highest common factor  = 4


Hence, the greatest numbers of skateboard that can be stored in each section is 4
