1.	Section Dhe23. A sweet shopkeeper prepares 396 gulab jamuns and 342 rasguilas. He packs them into conins ecesconsists of either gulab jamun or rasgulla, but have equal number of pieces. Find the number ot pput in each container so that numbers of containers are least.
Answer» 342=2x3x3x19 and 396=2x2x3x3x11. We get 2x3x3 as common in both factors, so 18 is highest common factor,Therefore number of pieces to be filled in a pack is 18 for which number of packs will be least.
