find the highest number of student of whom 125 apples, 150 oranges and 225 mangoes can be divided equally​

Sagot :

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the 3 quantities using prime factorisation.

125 = 5 × 5 × 5

150 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 5

225 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

Next, identify those prime factors that the 3 numbers have in common and multiply them.

the common factors are 5 × 5 = 25

then

125 ÷ 25 = 5

150 ÷ 25 = 6

225 ÷ 25 = 9

the 25 students each get 5 apples, 6 oranges and 9 mangoes
