Let us calculate both the length and width of the room in centimeters. Length = 6 meters and 24 centimeters = 624 cm width = 4 meters and 32 centimeters = 432 cm As we want the least number of square tiles required, it means the length of each square tile should be as large as possible.Further,the length of each square tile should be a factor of both the length and width of the room. Hence, the length of each square tile will be equal to the HCF of the length and width of the room = HCF of 624 and 432 = 48 Thus, the number of square tiles required = (624 x 432 ) / (48 x 48) = 13 x 9 = 117Related questions
