Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem, find the GCF between 255, 425, and 595.
255 = 3 * 5 * 17
425 = 5 * 5 * 17
595 = 5 * 7 * 17
Since each number has 5 and 17 as a factor, multiply these two numbers to get the GCF of 255, 425, and 595
5 * 17 = 85
The largest possible number of students is 85
