The number of stacks of math books = 35
The number of stacks of science books = 22
Total stack of books = 57
Total number of maths books = 1680
Total number of science books = 1056
Total number of books in a stack is equal to the H.C.F of 1680 and 1056.
1680 = 2⁴ × 3 × 7 × 5
1056 = 2^5 × 11 × 3
H.C.F = 2⁴ × 3 = 48
Total stack of math books = 1680/48 = 35
Total stack of math books = 1056/48 = 22
Total stack of books = 57
