Answer»

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the HIGHEST number which can divide all these three numbers, we will have to FIND their HCF . 

the factors of 111 are -  3 and 37

of 185 are -- 5 and 37 

and of 296 are -- 2 ,2,2 and 37 

so, HCF is 37. 

therefore, maximum 37 animals can be TAKEN in the boat at a time. 

total no. of animals = 111+185+296 = 592 

so, no. of trips = 592 divided by 37 = 16
