Answer 1

16 is the answer..

HCF of 560 and 32 is 16

Answer 2

Given :

Number of students = 560

Number of teachers = 32

To find : the maximum number of columns in which they march = ?

Solution :

For the maximum number, we will find HCF :

So, HCF of 560 and 32  = 16

So, the number of students in each column would be :

$\dfrac{560}{16}=35$

the number of teachers in each column would be:

$\dfrac{32}{16}=2$

Hence, there are 16 maximum columns.
