Question

Two clothes of length 16m and 24m are to be cut into small pieces of equal lengths. What will be the maximum length of each piece ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

I assume all pieces from both ropes are to be the same length?

If yes, factor the lengths:

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24

2 x 2 x 2 is common to both lengths of rope.

2 x 2 x 2 = 8 meters is the maximum length for all pieces to match in length.

Answer 2

Answer:

4m

16=2×2×2×2

20=2×2×5

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
