The lengths of the three ropes are 42m, 54m, and 64m. If Ali wants to cut the ropes into pieces of equal length without any rope left, what will be the maximum length of each piece?
Answer: 2m
Explanation
To find the maximum length of each piece, we need the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of 42, 54, and 64.
HCF of 42, 54, and 64 is 2 meters — the greatest length that divides all three without a remainder.
