To solve this exercise, we must calculate the Maximum Common Divisor (M.C.D.), which is the greatest common divisor of 62,108 and 180. We apply factor decomposition, and we obtain:

162= (3^4)(2)

108= (2^2)(3^3)

180= (2^2)(3^2)(5)

We choose the common numbers with their lowest exponent:

M.C.D.= (2)(3^2)

M.C.D.= 2x9

M.C.D.= 18

The greatest number of baskets that can be made is: 18 baskets

To know how many apples, oranges and bananas are in each basket, we must divide the greatest number of them that can be made between the total amount of apples, oranges and bananas, as shown below:

162/18= 9 apples

108/18= 6 oranges

180/18= 10 bananas

So, there are 9 apples, 6 oranges and 10 bananas in each basket.
