Question

A marchant has three diffrent varieties of almonds each weight 330 kg , 495 kg, and 715 kg, respectively. He wants to sell these by packing in bags of equal weight . What could be the largest quantity he can packbin a single bag?

Answer 1

To find the largest quantity that can be packed equally, HCF of the three numbers should be found out

5 | 330, 495, 715

11 | 66, 99, 143

| 6, 9, 13

Hence, HCF = 5×11 = 55

Therefore, the largest quantity that can be packed equally is 55kgs

Hope this helps!!!
