Question

Two tankers can hold 1020 litres and 190 litres of oil respectively. Find the capacity of a container which can be used to fill these tanks in exact number of times.

Answer 1

1020+190=1210
How many times? Incomplete question

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the required capacity of the container is the HCF of these two containers.

first, write down the prime factorization of the two numbers.

1020= 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 17

1190= 2 x 5 x 7 x 17

the common factors are(write lowest exponential powers)= 2,5,17

hence hcf of 1020 and 1190 is = 2 x 5 x 17 = 170

therefore, the required capacity of the container is 170 units
