Question

Ankit has 18 blue marbles and 24 white
marbles. He wants to arrange them column-
wise without leaving behind any marble.
What is the greatest number of columns
Ankit can make?​

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

First take out the H.C.F. of 1824 which is 6.

So number of columns of blue marbles=18/6=3

Similarly, no. of white marbles=24/4=4

By adding 4 and 3 we get 7 which is the total number of columns.
