What is the greatest number that can exactly divide (225), (375), and (525)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (75)
Step 1: The greatest common divisor is the HCF. Step 2: (225=3^2\times5^2), (375=3\times5^3), and (525=3\times5^2\times7), so HCF (=3\times5^2=75). Step 3: Use only the smallest powers common to all numbers.
