Answer:
A rectangular courtyard is 57m and50cm long and 22m broad determine the least possible number of square stones of the same size required to
57m 50cm = 5750cm
22m = 2200cm
The greatest common factor can be found using
5750 = 2 * 5^3 * 23
2200 = 2^3 * 5^2 * 11
So, the GCF is 2*5^2 = 50
Using 50cm stones, the courtyard is 115x44 = 5060 stones
