Question

There tankers contain 403 litres , 434 litres and 465 litres of diesel respectively find the maximum capacity of a container that can measure the diesel of the three containers exact number of times

Answer 1

Answer:

We need to find

Maximum measuring capacity of a container to measure the tanker

Since measuring capacity is smaller than 403,434,465 we find HCF

Mass measuring capacity =HCF of 403,434,465

403=31*13

434=31*2*7

465=31*3*5

So HCF =31

Maximum measuring capacity =31 litre
