Question

Swami packed 28 oranges and 52 apples in boxes. He packed oranges and apples in separate boxes. If he put equal number of fruits in each box, find the maximum number of fruits he put in

each box.​

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 28 and 52. First, write the prime factorization of each:

28 = 2² × 7

52 = 2² × 13

The GCF is 2² or 4. So the most fruits per box is 4.
