Question

There are 527apples, 646 pears and 748 oranges.t these are to be put in heaps of equal quantities find the maximum number of fruits in each heap how many such heaps would be formed?

Answer 1

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

HOPE HELPED!....
