Three different containers contain 130 l, 442 l, and 234 l of milk, respectively. What biggest measure can be used to measure all the containers exactly?

Three different containers contain 130 l, 442 l, and 234 l of milk, respectively. What biggest measure can be used to measure all the containers exactly? Correct Answer 26 l

Given:

Quantity of container 1 = 130 l

Quantity of container 2 = 442 l

Quantity of conatiner 3 = 234 l

Concept:

To find the biggest measure, we need to find the HCF of the quantity given.

Calculation:

Factors of 130 l = 2 × 5 × 13

Factors of 442 l = 2 × 13 × 17

Factors of 234 l = 2 × 3 × 3 × 13

HCF of 130, 442 and 234 = 2 × 13

⇒ 26

∴ Biggest measure can be used to measure all the containers exactly is 26 l
