144 cartons of Coke Cans and 90 cartons of Pepsi Cans are to be stacked in a Canteen. If each stack is of the same height and is to contain cartons of the same drink, what would be the greatest number of cartons each stack would have? |
Answer» To find greatest number of cartons each stack would have, we should find HCF of 144 and 90 Prime factors of 144 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 Prime factors of 90 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 Therefore HCF of 144 and 90 is: 2 × 3 × 3 = 18 Therefore the greatest number of cartons each stack would have is: 18 |
