Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the largest number of committees that can be formed with the same number of juniors and seniors in each, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the number of juniors (1472) and seniors (1012). The GCD of 1472 and 1012 is 92, which means we can form 92 committees with an equal number of juniors and seniors in each.
