DR stein bought 30 notebooks 60 pencils and 300 erasers to make identical packages.
Each student received the same number of notebooks, pencils and erasers.
gcd(30, 60, 300)=30
Therefore, the greatest number of students in Dr stein can have in his class is 30.

30 notebooks = 1notebook+%2A30students}
60 pencils = 2pencils%2A30students
300+erasers = 10+erasers%2A30students

So, each student receives a package consisting of 1 notebook, 2 pencils and 10 erasers.
