Q13 of 32 Page 20

Find the least length of a rope which can be cut into the whole number of pieces of length 45cm, 75cm, and 81cm.

Given the length of the pieces; 45 cm, 75 cm, and 81 cm

To find the length of the rope we have to find the L.C.M. of 45, 75 and 81.



L.C.M. = 3×3×3×3×5×5.


= 2025 cm


So, the least length of the rope should be 2025 cm which can be cut into the whole number of pieces of length 45 cm, 75 cm, and 81 cm.
