  1. Answer:

    He will take 37 of one kind in each trip

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We need to find the HCF to of 111, 185 and 296

    By prime factorization,

    111 = 3 x 37

    185 = 5 x 37

    296 = 2³ x 37

    So the HCF is 37

    So, he will take 37 animals in each trip

    Hope this helps
