Question

Anu has 138 pencils and Anuj has 207 pencils. If they pack their pencils in
identical boxes, each containing an equal number of pencils, then find the
greatest number of pencils that can be put in each box, without any left over​

Answer 1

Answer:

69

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the HCF:

138 , 207 ÷ 3 = 46 , 69

46 , 69 ÷ 23 = 2 , 3

HCF = 3 × 23 = 69

69 pencils can be put in each box, Anu will have 2 box and Anuj will have 3 box
