Two tankers contain 80 litre and 650 litre of oil. Find the maximum capacity of a container which can measure the oil of both that tanker when used one exact number of time.
Given :
Two tankers contain 80 litre and 650 litre of oil.
To do :
We have to find the maximum capacity of a container which can measure the oil in two tankers the exact number of times.
Solution :
The maximum capacity of the container is the HCF of 80 and 650.
Prime factorisation of 80 and 650 is,
$80 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5$
$650 = 2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 13$
HCF of 80 and 650 $= 2\times5 = 10$.
The maximum capacity of a container which can measure the oil in two tankers the exact number of times is 10 L.
