3. An army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of 32 members in
a parade. The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. What is the
maximum number of columns in which they can march?​

Answer 1

Answer:

8.

The answer lies in the HCF of 616 and 32.

By Euclid's division lemma, the HCF of 616 and 32 is 8.

The maximum number of columns are 8.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum => HCF

using Euclid's division lemma,

a = bq + r

616 = 32 * 19 + 8

32 = 8 * 4 + 0

HCF = 8

The maximum no. Of columns = 8
