Question

Two buckets can hold 272l and 425 l of water respectively Find the capacity of the largest bucket that can be filled an exact number of times from each bucket​

Answer 1

First we have to find the LCM of 272 and 425

272= 2*2*2*2*17

425=5*5*7

LCM = 2*2*2*2*5*5*17

= 6800

therefore capacity of the largest bucket = 6800 L

Answer 2

Answer:

the largest bucket that can be filled an exact number of times from each bucket is bucket of 17 litre.
