Step-by-step explanation:

HEY THERE !

NUMBER OF APPLES=527

NUMBER OF  PEARS=646

NUMBER OF ORANGES =748

WE CAN FIND NUMBER OF HEAPS,GREATEST NUMBER OF FRUITS

BY FINDING HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR (H.C.F)

Finding H.C.F by prime factorisation

527=17*31

646=2*17*19

748=2*2*11*17

SO 17 HEAPS CAN BE MADE

∴THE NUMBER OF

a) APPLES  =31

b) PEARS    =38

c)ORANGES =44
