Question

there are 527 apples 646 pears and 748 oranges there these are to be arranged in heat containing the same number of flutes find the greatest number of flutes possible in each heap how many hips for format​

Answer 1

Solution :-

Number of apples = 527

Number of pear = 646

Number of oranges = 748

We can find the number of heaps to be formed by finding the H.C.F. of 527, 646 and 748

527 = 17*31

646 = 2*17*19

748 = 2*2*17*11

H.C.F. of 527, 646 and 748 = 17

So, 17 heaps can be formed.

Number of apples in each heap = 527/17

= 31

Number of pear in each heap = 646/17 

= 38 

Number of oranges in each heap = 748/17

= 44
