hcf of 72cm, 128cm and 152cm is 8
cut into pieces of equal length = 44
from 72 there is 1.636363636363636363 piece
from 127 there is 2.909090909090909090 pieces
from 152 there is 3.454545454545454545 pieces
total no of equal pieces = 1.636363636363636363 + 2.909090909090909090 + 3.454545454545454545 = 8
