Question

Two tankers contain 850 litres and 680 litres of petrol respectively. Find the maximum capacity of a container which can measure the petrol of either in extra number of time .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The capacity of required container will be obtained by finding the HCF of the capacity of tankers -

850 = 2×5×5×17

680 = 2×2×2×5×17

Common factors of 850 and 680 = {2,5,17}

HCF = 2×5×17

= 170

Answer) The container which can measure petrol of either tank exactly must be of 170 litres.
