150 cola cans 260 fruit cans need to be stacked in a shop. If each stack is to be of the same height and is to contain cans of the same type what would be the greatest number of cans a stack can have? Who answers first will be marked as the Brainiest

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of cola cans = 150

Number of fruit juice cans = 260

If each stack is to be of the same height and has to contain cans of the same type, then the greatest number of cans each stack can have = GCD (150,260)

Prime factorization of 150 and 260:

150= 2 x 3 x 5 x 5

260 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 13

GCD (150,260) = 2 x 5 =10

Thus , the greatest number of cans each stack can have = 10
