Answer 1

Given Two ropes are of length 64 cm and 80 cm. Both are to be cut into pieces of  equal length. What should be the maximum length of the pieces?

We need to find the hcf of the given length to find the maximum length of each piece.

So factors of 64 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

Factors of 80 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5

So hcf will be 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 cm

So length of each piece is 16 cm
