Question

The maximum number of students amongst whom 1495 pens and 690 pencils can be distributed in such a way that each student gets the same number of pens and the same number of pencils, is:

Answer 1

Answer:

total pens = 1495

total pencil = 690

the maximum no. of students = ?

firstly we will have to find HCF of 1495 and 690

1495 = 5*23* 13*1

690 = 5*2*3*23 *1

HCF = 5*23*1 = 115

so total no. of students in school are 115
