In library, no. of math books – 385

Science books – 297 .

Tamil books – 143

We need to find HCF by repeated division method.

Step 1:

First let us take the bigger 2 numbers which are 385 & 297 & find their HCF using repeated division method.

∴ ’11’ is the HCF of 11 & 143

∴ Therefore, the HCF of 385, 297 & 143 is 11.

So, the maximum number of books possible in a bundle, for all types of books is 11.
