Question

four boxes can hold 168 kg, 252 kg, 336 kg and 378 kg respectively. find the least amount of weight which can be put into exact number of parcels?​

Answer 1

Answer:

factors of 24 = 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

factors of 36 = 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36

common factors = 1,2,3,6

factors of 48 = 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48

factors of 54 = 1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54

Highest common factor = 6

therefore the least amount of weight which can be put into exact number of parcels = 6 kg

hope it helps...
