1.) A string, stretched between two fixed posts, forms standing-wave resonances at 325Hz and 390Hz. What is the largest possible value of its fundamental frequency?

I have no idea on how to solve this problem, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Any frequency must be an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. What is the largest integer that divides both 325 and 390?
