Question

two tankers contain 850 liters and 680 liters of petrol respectively. find the maximum capacity of a container which can measure the petrol of both the tankers exact number of times.

Answer 1

To find out, v have use (GCF)/(GCD)/(HCF). Keep in mind that these different terms all refer to the same thing: the largest integer which evenly divides two or more numbers. As u ask container can measure 850 liters of petrol an exact number of times if its capacity in liters is a divisor of 850 vise versa with 680 liters of petrol the capacity in liters must also be divisor of 680. //850=2*5*5*17/// //680=2*2*2*5*17/// //Thus, the common factors of 850 and 680 is 2 × 5 × 17 = 170///

Answer 2

The answer is 170 L.

Hope it helps. :)
