Step-by-step explanation:
There are 136 apples,170 mangoes and 255 oranges . These are to be arranged in heaps containing the same number of fruits . Find the greatest number of fruits possible in each heap. How many heaps are formed
We need to find HCF of
136 , 170 & 255
136 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 17
170 = 2 * 5 * 17
255 = 3 * 5 * 17
HCF = 17
the greatest number of fruits possible in each heap = 17
Heaps of Apple = 136/17 = 8
Heaps of Mangoes = 170/17 = 10
Heaps of Oranges = 255/17 = 15
Total Number of Heaps = 8 + 10 + 15 = 33
