3 friends-Tom, Dick & Harry steal orange in the midnight time.
They don't know how many oranges they have stolen.
They leave it under the tree to get it next day.
Then the next day Tom comes,divides it into 3 heaps equally, takes the oranges of his part and leaves
Again, Dick who doesn't know that Tom has already came and took his part makes 3 groups again, takes his part & there is 1 orange as for extra which he keeps for himself. Then Harry comes & takes the rest.
However, they all get the same number of oranges.
So how many oranges are there and how many they each get?
You got it!
There are 6 oranges.
Tom divides it into three groups, 2:2:2.
He takes his part that is 2.
There are 4 oranges left now,
Dick comes and divides it into three groups again, 1:1:1.
1 extra orange is left now,
He takes his part and the extra one too which makes it of total 2.
There are 2 oranges left now,
Harry takes the rest 2.
All of them get 2 each.
