Answer:
first find the common factors of 18,26 and 72.
18: 1,2,3,6,9,18
26: 1,2,13,26
72: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,18,24,36,72
next, find the common factors which can divide all numbers: 2
then find the highest factor which can divide all numbers. in this case, we only have one factor which is 2 and that shall be the H.C.F.
Well what I would do is how much do I have to multiply by to get 150 trees which is 1.5. So now we take the 1.5 and the 2 hour multiply them and now we have 3. 3 hours is your answer
4 x 4 = 16
5 x 5 = 25
6 x 6 = 36
