Dimensions 80848

We want to cover a wall with dimensions of 4m x 250cm with square marble tiles with the largest possible dimensions of the sides of the tiles so that there are no losses caused, for example, by cutting them during tiling.
How many tiles will we need for the whole wall?

Correct answer:

n =  40

Step-by-step explanation:

a=4 m cm=4 100  cm=400 cm b=250 cm  400=2452 250=253 GCD(400,250)=252=50  x=GCD(a,b)=GCD(400,250)=50 cm  n1=a/x=400/50=8 n2=b/x=250/50=5  n=n1 n2=8 5=40
