The length , breadth, and height of a container are 850cm, 650cm, and 325cm, respectively. Find the longest tape which can measure the dimensions of the container fully


Given: length  =  850 cm

 Breadth  = 650 cm

Height = 325 cm

To find: Find the longest tape which can measure the dimensions of the container fully


Solution:

We have to find Highest Common Factor 

Factors of 850  -  2 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 17

Factors of 650  -   2 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 13

Factors of 325  -   5 $\times$ 5 $\times$ 13

Common Factors from the above is 5 $\times$ 5  =  25

So 25 is HCF of 850 , 650 , 325

Longest tape which can exactly measure the three dimensions is 25 cm.
