Question

Three tankers contain 403 liters and 465 liters of diesel respectively.
Find the maximum capacity of a container that can measure the diesel of three
containers exact number of times.

Answer 1

Answer:

HCF of 403, 434, 465 = 31

∴ the maximum capacity of container that can measure the diesel of the three containers exact number of times is 31 litres.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum capacity of container = H.C.F. of (403, 434, 465)

Factors of 403 = 13 x 31

Factors of 434 = 2 x 7 x 31

Factors of 465 = 3 x 5 x 31

H.C.F = 31

Therefore, 31 liters of container is required to measure the quantity.

hope this helps u :-)
