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, altogether 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, he should buy 8 containers.

  2. If there are 8 containers, each container will have 24/8 = 3 green apples and 16/8 = 2 red apples. Altogether, each container will have 3 + 2 = 5 apples.

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