Question

Three tankers contain 403 litres ,434 litres,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:

To find the maximum capacity of the container that can measure the diesel of three tankers we have to take their HCF

Factors of 403 = 1, 13, 31, 403

Factors of 434 = 1, 2, 7, 14, 31, 62, 217, 434

Factors of 465 = 1, 3, 5, 15, 31, 93, 155, 465

Highest common factor of 403, 434 and 465 is 31.

Hence the maximum capacity of the container should be 31 litres.
