The length,breadth and hieght of a room are 7m 25cm , 9m 25 cm ans 8m 25cm respectively. Determine the length of the largest tape which can measure the three dimensions of the room exactly
Answers
Answer:
Length of the room = 8m 25cm = 825 cm
Breadth of the room = 6m 75cm = 675 cm
Height of the room = 4m 50cm = 450 cm
Prime factorization of 825, 675 and 450 are as follows:
825 = 3×5×5×11
675 = 3×3×3×5×5
450 = 2×3×3×5×5
Common factors = 3×5×5
H.C.F. = 75
Hence, H.C.F. of 825, 675 and 450 is 75.
Therefore the length of the longest tap is 75 cm which can measure the three dimensions of the room exactly.

Answer:
25cm
Step-by-step explanation:
length of the room = 7m 25 cm = 725cm
breadth of the room= 9m 25cm = 925cm
height of the room = 8m 25cm = 825cm
GCD of these 3 dimensions will give you the length of the largest tape which measures them exactly.
factors of 725 are: 1, 5, 25, 29, 145, 725
factors of 825 are: 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 25, 33, 55, 75, 165, 275, 825
factors of 925 are: 1, 5, 25, 37, 185, 925
Then the greatest common divisor is 25.
and hence the measure of the largest tape is 25cm
