A rectangle of side 48cm by 60cm is divided into squares of side X cm. Find the greatest value of X and find the area of the square.

greatest value of X = 12

Area of square = 144 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest value of X will be the highest common factor of 48 and 60 since we are told that the rectangle is divided into squares.

Factors of 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

The highest common factor between both factors of 48 and 60 is 12.

Thus,

greatest value of X = 12

Area of square = 12 × 12

Area of square = 144 cm²

i think this could be a possible answer (1 / 84) -1
