    Question

    Two containers contain 765 litres and 833 litres of liquid, respectively. The maximum capacity of container that can measure the liquid of both containers is:

    A.

    21 litres

    B.

    19 litres

    C.

    15 litres

    D.

    17 litres

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    First container liquid capacity = 765 litres
    Second container liquid capacity = 833 litres
    Concept Used:
    The maximum capacity of a container that can measure the liquid from both containers is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of the two numbers.
    Solution:
    Prime factorization of 765  = 3 × 3 × 5 × 17
    Prime factorization of 833 = 7 × 7 × 17
    Therefore, the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of 765 and 833 is 17.
