Question

two containers have 16 litre and 24 litre oil respectively. what is the largest measuring can that can exactly measure oil from both the containers

Answer 1

Hi friend,
Find the solution below!!!
Factors of 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
Factors of 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
Therefore, HCF = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

8 litres is the required measure!!!
Hope it is clear!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

8 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Two containers have 16 liter and 24 liter oil respectively

To Find :What is the largest measuring can that can exactly measure oil from both the containers

Solution:

Two containers have 16 liter and 24 liter oil respectively

Find HCF of 16 and 24

2  |  16      2  |  24

2  |  8       2   |  12

2  |  4       2   |  6

2  |  2       3   |   3

   |   1            |   1

$16 = 2 \times 2 \times 2\times 2$

$16 = 2 \times 2 \times 2\times 3$

HCF = $2\times 2 \times 2$

HCF =8

Hence the largest measuring can that can exactly measure oil from both the containers is 8 liters.
