Answer 1

Answer:

A fruit vendor has 318 apples, 848 bananas and 689 oranges. These fruits have to put in heaps of equal numbers.

We need to calculate the maximum number of fruits in a heap.

Maximum number of fruits in a heap is HCF of all three number.

First we find the HCF of all three number.

Prime factorization of each number:

318=2*8*53

848=2*2*2*2*53

689=13*53

As we can see 53 is only number which is common in all three factors.

HCF=53

Thus, Maximum number of fruits in a heap are 53
