Answer 1

the smallest number of oranges for which this is possible is 120

Explanation:

we need to find the smallest number that can be divided at the same time into 10 or 15 or 24

Which is the definition of the least common multiple of 10 , 15 and 24

10 = 5×2

15 = 3×5

24 = 2×3×4

Then

LCM(10 , 15 , 24) = 2×3×4×5

= 120
