Since the students in each grade were divided into different sections, and every section across grades had the same number of students, the minimum number of sections across grades will be the HCF of the numbers of students in Grade 6,7, and 8. HCF (184, 276, 322) = 46 Number of students in each class = 46 Number of sections in grade 6 = 184/46 = 4 Number of sections in grade 7 = 276/46 = 6 Number of sections in grade 8 = 322/46 = 7 Minimum number of sections = 4+6+7=17.
