For finding maximum value of weight which can measure the weight of the fertiliser exact no. of times we have to find Highest common factors i.e. HCF of 75 & 69
Factors of 75 = 3 × 25 = 3 × 5 × 5
Factors of 69 = 3 × 23
Common Factor = 3
Hence HCF = 3
Hence Measure of 3kg can measure the weight of the fertiliser exact no. of times.
I.e. 25 times for 75 kg & 23 times for 69 kg.
Factors of 75 = 3 × 25 = 3 × 5 × 5
Factors of 69 = 3 × 23
Common Factor = 3
Hence HCF = 3
Hence Measure of 3kg can measure the weight of the fertiliser exact no. of times.
I.e. 25 times for 75 kg & 23 times for 69 kg.
