Best answer

Number of cartons of coke cans = 144
Number of cartons of pepsi cans = 90
∴ The greatest number of cartons in one stock = HCF of 144 and 90
By applying Euclid’s division lemma
144 = 90 × 1 + 54
90 = 54 × 1 + 36
54 = 36 × 1 + 18
36 = 18 × 2 + 0
∴ HCF = 18
Hence the greatest number cartons in one stock = 18
