COCA-COLA ARE SOLD IN three bottle size : 250ml,500ml and 1000ml a)what is the smallest volume of soft drink that will fill either bottles explain it plzzzzzzzz
Given the description, it appears to be an GCF problem.
So that means we have to find the greatest common factor common to all 3 volumes:
I'll start by listing factors of the largest number, 1000:
1000
1 * 1000
2 * 500 -> That matches 500, so it's a factor of 500, but it's too large to be a factor of 250
4 * 250 -> Matches 250, so it's a factor of 250.
Having found a factor for both 1000 and 250, we can now check if 500 also has that factor:
500
1 * 500
2 * 250
If I interpreted the problem correctly, 250mL should be the answer.
