Question

9. Three ropes of length 104 cm, 78 cm and 52 cm are to be cut into small pieces of equal length. What is the greatest possible length of each equal part, so that there is no wastage?​

Answer 1

Answer:

26 CM

Step-by-step explanation:

to simplify all you need to do is take HCF of the three numbers.

104 = 2×2×2×13

78 = 2×3×13

52 = 2×2×13.

therefore, their HCF = 2×13 = 26 cm

hence, greatest possible length of each equal part is 26 cm
