Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case we need to find the Highest Common Factor or HCF of the numbers. This will give the highest possible number of fruits in each heap
HCF of 342, 627 & 836 = 19
so we can have heaps of 19 fruits each
To find total no of heaps,
apple heaps = 342/19= 18
mango heaps = 627/19 = 33
guava heaps = 836/19 = 44
Total heaps formed = 18+33+44 = 95
Answer:
19,95
Step-by-step explanation:
greatest number of fruits possible in each heap is same as the HCF of 342,627 and 836.
HCF of 342, 627 and 836 is 19.
So the HCF of 342, 627 and 836 is 19.
Hence the greatest number of fruits possible in each heap is 19
To find total number of heaps
apple heaps= 342/19= 18
mango heaps= 627/19=33
guava heaps= 836/19= 44
total heaps formed = 18+33+44= 95
