Question

A school library has 280 science books and 300 maths books. Students were told to stack these journals in such a way that each stack contains equal number of books. Find the number of stacks of science and maths books. what is the benefit of library in student's life?

Answer 1

No. of science books $=280$

No. of Maths books $=300$

HCF of $280,300=20$

$\therefore$ No. of stacks of science books $=\frac{280}{20}=14$.

No. of stacks of Maths books $=\frac{300}{20}=15$
