Thor has four iron bars whose lengths are 24 m, 36 m, 48 m and 72 m respectively. This person wants to cut pieces of same length from each of four bars. What is the least number of total pieces if he is to cut without any wastage?
Answers
Answer:
12m
Step-by-step explanation:
it is the LCM
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Concept:
Thor possesses four iron bars from each of the four bars, this person wants to cut pieces the same length. They are asking smallest total number of pieces he can cut without wasting any material. To find we are using h.c.f for the given four lengths.
HCF:
Highest Common Factor is the full name for HCF in mathematics. According to the laws of mathematics, the highest positive integer that divides two or more positive integers without leaving a residual is known as the greatest common divisor.
Given:
Let the lengths of four iron bars be l1= 24m
l2=36m
l3=48m
l4=72m
Find:
To find the least number of total pieces without any wastage
Solution:
The pieces cut from four rods is least, so length of the pieces is the HCF of 24m,36m,48m,72m which is 12
=(24+ 36 + 48 + 72)/12
=180/12
Least number of total pieces without any wastage =15
