Question

If large square beds of equal size are to be made for planting vegetables on a plot of land 18 metres long and 15 metres wide, what is the maximum possible length of each bed?

Answer 1

We will use HCF approach as this question requires the highest common factor.

In this approach we starts with the smallest possible value that is a factor of all the given values. From HCF calculation, the HCF is 3 as 15 and 18 both are divisible by 3. So the large square beds would be 3 m long at max.
