Suppose a store owner has 92999995 apples and 11111111111115 oranges and wants to package them into identical fruit baskets so that every basket contains an equal number of each item without leaving any remainder. What is the maximum number of identical fruit baskets that can be made, and how many of each item will be in each basket?
GCD Problem and Solution:
step 1 Address the method, input parameters and values:
Integers: 92999995, 11111111111115
Find GCD(92999995 and 11111111111115) = ?
step 2 Find the prime factors of all integers in the group:
92999995 = 5 x 11 x 11 x 153719
11111111111115 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 431 x 10651 x 17929
step 3 Identify the common prime factors:
The common prime factors shared by all integers (92999995, 11111111111115) are: 5.
step 4 Multiply the common prime factors to find the greatest common factor:
GCD(92999995, 11111111111115) = 5 = 5.
step 5 Real-world conclusion:
The maximum number of identical fruit baskets that can be made is 5.
Each basket will contain 18599999 apples and 2222222222223 oranges.
GCD(92999995, 11111111111115) = 5
