Step-by-step explanation:

we are looking for the greatest common factor of the 3 numbers.

e.g. by prime factorization :

18 = 2×3×3

36 = 2×2×3×3

45 = 3×3×5

the largest chain of prime factor multiplication that is contained in all 3 numbers is 3×3.

the GCF is therefore 3×3 = 9.

and that (9) is the largest possible number of bottles in one box.

oh, and Garth (18 bottles) bought therefore 2 boxes.

Rico (36 bottles) bought 4 boxes.

Mai (45 bottles) bought 5 boxes.
