The largest amount of juice that each container can hold of each kind of juice is 6galons becouse:
42/7 = 6
and:
18/3 = 6
both of this numbers can be devided by 6 and this is the highest common divisor

The largest amount of juice each container can hold is 6 gallons. This is determined by finding the greatest common divisor of 42 gallons of orange juice and 18 gallons of cranberry juice. Using 6-gallon containers, the restaurant can use 7 containers for orange juice and 3 containers for cranberry juice.
