Answer:
70 L
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the largest bucket capacity which can measure each container exactly, you need to find the HCF (highest common factor) of 210, 350 and 420.
First, factorize the 3 numbers
210 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7
350 = 2 x 5 x 5 x 7
420 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7
To find the HCF pick the common factors among the three numbers
210 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7
350 = 2 x 5 x 5 x 7
420 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7
HCF = 2 x 5 x 7 = 70
Hence, a bucket of 70 litres would be required to measure the kerosene in each tanker exactly
