Question

Renu purchase two bags of fertilizer of with 75 kg and 69 kg find the maximum value of weight which can measure the weight of the fertilizer exact number of times

Answer 1

For finding maximum weight, we have to find H.C.F. of 75 and 69.

Factors of 75 = 3 x 5 x 5

Factors of 69 = 3 x 69

H.C.F. = 3

Therefore the required weight is 3 kg

Answer 2

Weight of 1st fertilizer bag=75kg
Weight of 2nd fertilizer bag=69kg
:.Factors of 75 & 69
→75=3×5×5
→69=3×23
:. Highest Common Factor(HCF)=3
:.The maximum value of weight which can measure the weight of the fertilizer exact number of times is 3kg.
