Question

There are 28 students in section A, 36
students in section B and 32 students
in section C of class VI in a school.
What is the minimum number of books
required for their class library. So
that can be distributed equally among
students any of the three sections
equally.
​

Answer 1

As there are 28 in sec A

36 in sec B

32 in sec C

if we need to distribute book so that there is none left then we need to find common multiple of 28 , 32 ,36 which is 2016

Answer 2

There are two sections of class X - A and B

where in A section, the no. of students = 32

and in B , the no. of students = 36

Now, to determine the required least no. , you need to take the LCM of 3 and 36

therefore, LCM of 32 and 36= 288

thus, the required least no. = 288
