294 = 2 × 3 × 7^2
252 = 2^2 × 3^2 × 7
210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7
HCF = 2 × 3 × 7
HCF = 42 students

Solution :-

To find the biggest possible number of students, so that among them 294, notebooks, 252, pens and 210 pencils can be distributed, we have to find the H.C.F. of 294, 252 and 210

        __________________ 
    2  |  294,  252,  210
        |_________________
    3  |  147,  126,  105
        |_________________
    7  |   49,    42,    35
        |_________________
        |    7,      6,      5
        |

H.C.F. of 294, 252 and 210 = 2*3*7 = 42

So, the biggest possible number of students is 42.
