Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
A room is 4 meters 37 cm long and 3 meters 23cm broad. It is required to pave the floor with minimum square slabs. Find the number of slabs required for this purpose?
Let the numbers be 3x, 4x and 5x.Then, their L.C.M. = 60x.So, 60x = 2400 or x = 40. The numbers are (3 x 40), (4 x 40) and (5 x 40).Hence, required H.C.F. = 40.
