Answer 2

Answer:

The total numbers of sections are 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of boys in school = 576

Number of girls in school = 448

To find: Total Number of sections such that each section has either boys or girls.

Height Common Factor ( HCF ) of both number gives the number of students in a section.

HCF of 576 and 448

576 = 2 ×  2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

448 = 2 ×  2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7

HCF = 2 ×  2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 64

Number of sections of Boys = 576/64 = 9

Number of sections of girls  448/64 = 7

Total Number of sections = 9 + 7 = 16

Therefore, The total numbers of sections are 16.
