Thank you
But can you give a brief explanationa
Largest divisor of 48 and 40 is 8. So in question, tiles would square tiles. If you divide the area of floor by area of 1 square tile, it would result to 30 tiles.
Thanks
Now I understood it
can u pls tell how we get the largest size of tile
8 is the largest factor of 40 as well as 48.
