A trader wants to put 24 green and 18 red apples into a container such that each container has the same number of green and red apples. What is the greatest number a container should have? How many green apples will be in a container? How many red apples will be in a container? Altogether will be in a container? Find the HCF of 24 and 18.

Answer

  1. The greatest number a container should have is the highest common factor (HCF) of 24 and 18, which is 6.

  2. Each container will have 24 / 6 = 4 green apples.

  3. Each container will have 18 / 6 = 3 red apples.

  4. Altogether, each container will have 4 + 3 = 7 apples.

  5. The HCF of 24 and 18 is 6.
