Answer 1

Answer:

hcf of 616 and 32 = 8

therefore the maximum number of columns is 8

Answer 2

Answer: HCF = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to find maximum possible number of columns

which can be made considering both 616 and 32

Maximum number of columns which is common to both the groups

= HCF (616, 32)

Now,

616 = (32 x 19) + 8

32 = (8 x 4) + 0

Remainder in this case is zero.

.. HCF (616, 32) = 8

Hence, the maximum number of columns = 8.
