Question

Find the greatest possible length which can be used to measure exactly three cloth pieces of length 1.26 m, 1.98 m & 1.62 M

Answer 1

Answer:

18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1.26m=126 cm

1.98 m=198 cm

1.62 m=162 cm

factors of 126,198 and 162

126=2 x 3 x 3 x 7

198=2 x 3 x 3 x 11

162=2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3

HCF(126,198,162)=2*3*3=18 cm

18 cm is the possible length which can be used to measure exactly three cloth pieces of length 1.26 m, 1.98 m & 1.62 M
