A tea wholesaler has 408 kg, 468 kg, and 516 kg of three different types of tea. He wants to pack each type separately into boxes of the same maximum capacity. What is the greatest possible size of each box?

Explanation

To determine the largest box size that can evenly divide 408 kg, 468 kg, and 516 kg without mixing, find the highest common factor (HCF) of the three weights. The HCF of 408, 468, and 516 is 12, so the biggest box capacity is 12 kg.
