Question

Three different containers contain 403 L, 434 L and 465 L of milk respectively. Find the capacity of a container which can measure the milk of all the containers in an exact number of times.

Answer 1

Three different containers contain 403 L, 434 L and 465 L of milk.

The capacity of the container that can measure the milk in an exact number of times will be given by the HCF of 403, 434 and 465.


∴ HCF = 31

Now, we will find the HCF of 31 and 465.


∴ HCF = 31

Hence, the capacity of the required container is 31 L.
