Answer 2

Given,

Length of the wrapper = 30 cm

Width of the wrapper = 25 cm

To find,

The possible number of squares from the wrapper without any leftover.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we have to calculate the HCF or Highest Common Factor of the given Length and Width. This will give us the value of the length of the side length of smaller squares.

Prime factorization :

30 = 5×3×2

25 = 5×5

Common factor = 5

HCF = 5

Length of one side of the square piece = 5 cm

Hence, the possible length of one side of the square will be 5 centimetres.
