Answer:
14 l
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's get prime factors of given numbers:
- 42=2*3*7
- 70=2*5*7
- 98=2*7*7
As per prime factors, HCF of given numbers gives us the capacity of the largest container:
- HCF(42,70,98)=2*7= 14
So 14 liter container can be used to measure the volume of all three drums.
- 42l - 3 measures
- 70l- 5 measures
- 98l- 7 measures

Answer:
14 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's get prime factors of given numbers:
42=2x3x7
70=2x5x7
98=2x7x7
As per prime factors, HCF of given numbers gives us the capacity of the largest container:
HCF(42,70,98)=2x7= 14
So 14 liter container can be used to measure the volume of all three drums.
42litres - 3 measures
