The largest possible group is of 14.

Given : On a school trip, 56 girls and 98 boys went to Kanyakumari. They were divided into as many groups as possible  so that there were equal numbers of girls and boys in each group.

To find : The  largest group possible?

Number of girls = 56

Number of boys = 98

H.C.F of 56 and 98,

$56 = 2\times2\times 2\times 7$

$98= 2\times7\times 7$

$HCF(56,98)=2\times 7=14$

Therefore, the largest possible group is of 14.
