Answer 1

Hi,

To distribute the 1001 pens and 910

Pencils among maximum number of

students so that each student has same

number of pens and pencils , we have to

find HCF of 1001 and 910

Write 1001 and 910 product of prime

1001 = 7 × 11 × 13

910 = 2 × 5 × 7 × 13

HCF of 1001 , 910 = 7 × 13 = 91

Therefore,

Same number of pens and pencils are distributed

among 91 students .

Each one get 11 pens and 10 pencils.

I hope this helps you.

:)
