form a rectangular sheet of paper measuring 60 centimeters by 40 centimeters how many squares of sides to centimeter can be made

Answer 1

side of the largest square= hcf of 60 and 40= 20cm
so area of square= 20*20= 400cm2
area of rectangle= length *breadth=40*60= 2400cm2
no of square= 2400/400= 6
