Question

the container has 16 litre and 24 litre oil respectively what is the largest measuring can that can exactly measure oil from both the container
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Two containers have 16 liter and 24 liter oil respectively

To Find :What is the largest measuring can that can exactly measure oil from both the containers

Solution:

Two containers have 16 liter and 24 liter oil respectively

Find HCF of 16 and 24

2 | 16 2 | 24

2 | 8 2 | 12

2 | 4 2 | 6

2 | 2 3 | 3

| 1 | 1

16 = 2 \times 2 \times 2\times 216=2×2×2×2

16 = 2 \times 2 \times 2\times 316=2×2×2×3

HCF = 2\times 2 \times 22×2×2

HCF =8

Hence the largest measuring can that can exactly measure oil from both the containers is 8 liters.
