A trader wants to put 24 green and 16 red apples into a container such that each container has the same number of green and red apples. What is the greatest number of containers he should buy? How many red apples will be in a container, all together will be in a container? Find the H.C.F of 24 and 16.

Answer

  1. The greatest number of containers he should buy is determined by the highest common factor (H.C.F) of 24 and 16. The H.C.F of 24 and 16 is 8. Therefore, the greatest number of containers is 8.

  2. To find how many red apples will be in each container, divide the total number of red apples by the number of containers: 16 red apples / 8 containers = 2 red apples per container.

  3. The H.C.F of 24 and 16 is 8.
