An army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of 32 members in a parade. The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns in which they can march? |

Answer» To find maximum number of columns we should find HCF of 616 and 32 Using Euclid’s algorithms: Let a = 616 and b = 32 a = bq + r, (o ≤ r ≤ b) 616 = 32×19+8 32 = 8×4+0 ∴ HCF of 616 and 32 is 8 Therefore the maximum number of columns in which army contingent to march is 8 |
