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.
