Answer 2

Answer:

6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the prime factors of 12 and 18:

• 12=2*2*3
• 18=2*3*3

As we see the largest size we can get for both of the numbers is 2*3=6

Possible the greatest value is 6 m, which is unreal for home use. So real ones are 0.6 m * 0.6 m or 1.2 m * 1.2 m

Number of the tiles required depends on available size in the market. It could be 60 cm*60 cm or 120 cm*120 cm, both will do.
