Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
he maximum number of students among them 1001 pens and 910 pencils can be distributed in such a way that each student gets the same number of pens and same number of pencils is:
Required length = H.C.F. of 495 cm, 900 cm and 1665 cm. 495 = 3² x 5 x 11, 900 = 2² x 3² x 5², 1665 = 3² x 5 x 37. H.C.F. = 32 x 5 = 45. Hence, required length = 45 cm.
