Question

Determine the longest tape which can be measured exactly the length 700m, 385m and 1295m

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

700 =2*2*5*5*7

385 = 5*7*11

1295 = 5*7*37

as we can see highest common factor of all three lengths is 5*7 i.e 35,

hence longest tape which can measure 700, 385 & 1295 is 35 m
