A number of oranges are to be distributed evenly among a number of baskets. Each basket will contain at least one orange. If there are 20 oranges to be distributed, what is the number of oranges per basket?

(1) If the number of baskets was halved and all other conditions remained the same, there would be twice as many oranges in every remaining basket.

(2) If the number of baskets was doubled, it would no longer be possible to place at least one orange in every basket.
