Answer:
20 pieces of 7 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Three pieces of timber of lengths 63m , 42m and 35m
We need to find
Greatest possible length of each plank and their total numbers
Let's find prime factors of given numbers to identify divisibility of each:
- 63= 3*3*7
- 42= 2*3*7
- 35= 5*7
As per above, the three numbers have common divisor of 7. This is the greatest possible length of each piece. So each piece is of 7 m length.
Number of pieces is visible from the above: 3*3+2*3+5= 20 pieces
The answer is
20 pieces, 7m each
