Question

two tankers contain 620l and840l of diesel respectively find the maximum capacity of a container which can measure the diesel of both the tankers in exact no of times

Answer 1

Hey.

Since GCF (620, 840)= 2^2. 5^1 = 20

so, required container will be of 20 l.

Thanks.

Answer 2

620 = 2×2×5×31

840 = 2×2×2×3×5×7

HCF=2×2×5

=20l
