Question

fabric is sold in stores from bolts that are 45 or 60 inches wide. what is the width of the widest strips of fabric you can cut from either bolt without wasting any of the fabric if each strip has the same width?what are you trying to find?​

Answer 1

$\huge \cal \mid\colorbox{lightgreen}{ANSWER} \mid$

We are finding HCF here.

60 - 45 * 1 + 15

45 = 15 * 3 + 0

Therefore HCF = 15
