there are 408 boys and 264 girls in a school which are to be divided into equal sections of either boys or girls alone . find the total number of sections thus formed .
"explanation : hcf ( 408 , 264 ) = 24 the number of boys or girls that can be placed in a section = 24 . thus the total number of sections is given by 408 / 24 + 264 / 24 = 17 + 11 = 28 answer : a"
divide(add(408, 264), multiply(multiply(multiply(const_2, const_2), const_2), const_3))
