Question 1

Renu purchases two bags of fertilizer of weights 75 kg and 69 kg. Find the maximum value of weight which can measure the weight of the fertilizer exact number of times.

Answer 1

HCF of two or more number is the highest number which divides the given numbers exactly.
For finding maximum weight, we have to find HCF of 75 and 69.
Factors of 75 = 3 x 5 x 5
Factors of 69 = 3 x 23
HCF = 3
Therefore, the required weight is 3 kg.
