The maximum can that can be used to measure the can is 12 liters

Given:

The capacities of two cans are 24 liters and 36 liters

To find:

The maximum capacity of a measuring can that can be used to fill two containers having a capacity of 24 litres and 36 litres  

Solution:

Given capacities of cans are 24 liters and 36 liters

To find the the maximum capacity of a measuring can we need to find HCF of 24 and 36

To find the HCF (24, 36) write the 24 and 36 as product of prime numbers

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

Here, most common factors are  2× 2× 3 = 12

The maximum can that can be used to measure the can = 12 liters.
