Hi ,
To find the container which fills the tankers
in exact number of times we have to find
HCF of 680 and 850
By using prime factorization method,
680 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 17
850 = 2 × 5 × 5 × 17
Therefore ,
HCF ( 680 , 850 ) = 2 × 5 × 17 = 170
Now we can fill the first tanker 4 times with
170 li capacity container
and
second tanker filled with the same container 5
times.
I hope this helps you.
