Question

210 Orange and 252apples are equally packed on carton so that no fruit is left what is the biggest possible number of carton is needed?

Answer 1

Answer:

You have to find the greatest number that divide 294, 252 and 210, i.e., the greatest common factor.

Then, you need to factor each number and calculate the product of the common factors raised to the lowest exponent.

294 2*3*7^2

252 = 2^2* 3^2 * 7

210 = 2*3*5*7

Greatest common factor = 2*3*7 = 42

The biggest possible number of cartoons distribuuted is 42
