Answer 1

$\huge\underline\mathtt\red{Answer:}$

• 8

Explanation:

Maximum number of columns which is common to both the groups=

$hcf(616 \: and \: 32)$

$616 = (32 \times 19) + 8$

$32 = (8 \times 4) + 0$

Remainder in this case is zero.

Since, HCF= 8

Hence, the maximum number of columns=8

Answer 2

What is the maximum number of columns in which they can march? An army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of 32 members in a parade. Since remainder = 0 we conclude, 8 is the HCF of 616 and 32. The maximum number of columns in which they can march is 8.
