Question

piece of string can be cut into equal
lengths, either 24cm or 30cm or 26cm long,
find the lenght of the shortest piece of
string of which this is possible.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum length of the piece that has to be cut=H.C.F of 16m and 20m

Now HCF of 16 and 20 is 4

∴ Required length=4m

Answer 2

Answer:

4680

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use prime factorization to get :

1. 24 = 2³ × 3.

2. 26 = 2 × 13.

3. 30 = 2 × 3 × 5.

So, the LCM is 4680.
