A tank is capable of holding 36,18 and 72 litres of milk . Determine which is the greatest vessel which can be uses to fill each one of them on exact number of times

Greatest vessel to fill each in exact number of times is 6 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will find the greatest common factor of 36,18 and 72

Thus;

Their prime factors are;

18: 2, 3

36: 2, 2, 3, 3,

72: 2, 2, 2, 3, 3

The factors common to all of them are 2 & 3.

Thus;

GCF = 2 × 3 = 6
