378 = 14 x 27
625 = 25 X 27
So each section can have 27 students
No of section 14 + 25

If I do not edit my post, is 378 + 675 not a possible answer?

So, does the question need any edit that could force us to consider GCD only?

You may want to say 'minimum possible sections' , this should bring GCD in play
