Breadth of the courtyard
= >10m 44 cm = 1044 cm
Length of the courtyard
=> 15m 12 cm = 1512 cm
H.C.F of these two measurements will give the side of the square stone
Factors of 1044 = 2*2*3*3*29
Factors of 1512 = 2*2*3*3*3*7
H.C.F = 2*2*3*3*= 36
Side of the square stone = 36cm
Area of the rectangular courtyard = No. of stones * Area of one Stone
Least no. of square stones = 1044*1512 / 36^2 = 1578528/1296 = 1218
