Question

4. There are 3472 stones in 16 heaps. Find the number of stones in one heap if
each heap contains the same number of stones.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of stones = LCM of (16,20,25,45)×k+3=3600k+3

Since the stones can be made up into groups of 21

∴ 9k+3 is divisible by 21 when k=2

∴ Least number of stones =3600×2+3=7203

Answer 2

Answer:

In one heap there are 217 stones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step No.1 :- We should find the stones in 1 heap from 3472 stones in 16 heaps then we should divide both.

Step No.2 :- So first we should divide 3472 from 16.

Step No.3 :- 3472 divided from 16 = 217.

So we Finally got answer that is = 217 stones in one heap
