For finding the length of the rope we have to find the LCM of 24 and 18.
24 = 2×2×2×3
18 = 2×3×3
LCM( 24,18) = 2×2×3×2×3 = 8 × 9
= 72
Hence, the greatest possible length of the rope to measure two sticks of length 24m and 18m is 72m.
24 = 2×2×2×3
18 = 2×3×3
LCM( 24,18) = 2×2×3×2×3 = 8 × 9
= 72
Hence, the greatest possible length of the rope to measure two sticks of length 24m and 18m is 72m.
