प्रश्न
Three measuring rods are 64 cm, 80 cm and 96 cm in length. Find the least length of cloth that can be measured an exact number of times, using any of the rods.
उत्तर
Length of the three measuring rods are 64cm, 80cm and 96cm, respectively.
∴ Length of cloth that can be measured an exact number of times = LCM (64, 80, 96)
Prime factorization:
64 = 26
80 = 24 × 5
96 = 25 × 3
∴ LCM = product of greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers = 26 × 3 × 5 = 960cm = 9.6m
Hence, the required length of cloth is 9.6m.
