Question

Q3. There are 207 white and 115 blue balls. These balls are to be arranged in
buckets containing the same number of balls. Then the greatest number of balls
possible in each bucket is
a) 18
b) 23
c) 28
d) 217​

Answer 1

Answer:

the greatest number of balls  possible in each bucket is 23

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the greatest number of balls  possible in each bucket

we need to find  HCF of 207 & 115

HCF = Highest Common Factor

207 = 3 * 3 * 23

115 = 5 *  23

only common factor is 23

Hence HCF = 23

the greatest number of balls  possible in each bucket is 23
