Answer:
you should give me your no. then I will then tell you the answer
Answer:
maximum number of columns = 4
= HCF of 12 & 4
Similarly , we will do in this question
maximum number of columns = HCF of 616 and 32
using Euclid ,s division algorithm
since 616≥ 32
we divide 616 by 32
32÷ 616 / 19
[-] 32
296
288
[-]
8
since the remainder is not 0
we divide 32 by 8
8÷ 32 / 4
[-] 32
0
hence the HCF of 616 and 32 is 8
therefore,
Maximum number of columns = HCF of 61 and 32
= 8
