The HCF of 24, 32 and 42
The LCM of 24, 32 and 42
Multiples of 24, 32 and 42
Factors of 24, 32 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:
To find greatest length of the pieces so that there is no ribbon left , we find HCF of ( 24 , 32 , 42 )
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
42 = 2 × 3 × 7
So,
HCF of ( 24 , 32 , 42 ) = 2
Therefore ,
Greatest length of the pieces so that there is no ribbon left = 2 m
