Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the dimension :
256 cm by 96 cm
To know the largest number of possible squares obtainable, we calculate the Greatest common factor of 256 and 96
256 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
96 : 2, 3, 4, 6,, 8, 16, 32, 48, 96
The greatest common factor is 32
Hence, length of side of each square = 32cm
Number of squares obtained :
Area of rectangle :
Length * width
256cm * 96cm 24,576cm²
Area of square :
s² ; s = side length
32² = 1024cm²
Number of squares :
24,576cm² / 1024cm²
= 24 squares
