Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The largest number of committees that can be formed with an equal number of sophomores, juniors, and seniors is determined by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numbers of students in each class. The GCD of 207, 243, and 216 is 9, meaning the largest number of committees that can be formed, where each committee has the same number of students from each class, is 9.
