Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
A room is 6 meters 24 centimeters in length and 4 meters 32 centimeters in width. Find the least number of square tiles of equal size required to cover the entire floor of the room?
Let the numbers be 37a and 37b.Then, 37a x 37b = 4107 ab = 3.Now, co-primes with product 3 are (1, 3).So, the required numbers are (37 x 1, 37 x 3) i.e., (37, 111). Greater number = 111.
