Question

A rectangular floor is 2016 CM long and 1560 CM board it is to be paved with square tiles of some size find the least possible number of square size

Answer 1

First find the HCF of 2016 and 1560

HCF = 24

(We have find the HCF to get the maximum edge of the square tile)

Thus, the square tiles needed is- Area of rectangular floor/Area of square tile

                                                    =2016*1560/24*24

                                                    =3144960/576

                                                    =5460

Hence, the least no. of square tiles required is 5460
