Suppose you have 108 green marbles and 144 red marbles. You decide to separate them into packets of equal number of marbles. Find the maximum possible number of marbles in each packet.
(A) 12
(B) 36
(C) 9
(D) 24
(E) None of these

• HCF of 108 and 144 is 36.

• hcf of 108 and 144 is 12
  so maximum no of mable in each packet is 12
  the maximum possible number of packets is 108/12+144/12=9+12=21 packets
  so maximum no of marbles =12
