प्रश्न
Three pieces of timber, 42-m, 49-m and 63-m long, have to be divided into planks of the same length. What is the greatest possible length of each plank?
उत्तर
The lengths of the three pieces of timber are 42 m, 49 m, and 63 m.
The greatest possible length of each plank will be given by the HCF of 42, 49, and 63.
Firstly, we will find the HCF of 42 and 49 by the division method.
∴ The HCF of 42 and 49 is 7.
Now, we will find the HCF of 7 and 63.
∴ The HCF of 7 and 63 is 7.
Therefore, HCF of all three numbers is 7
Hence, the greatest possible length of each plank is 7 m.
