The greatest possible length of each piece is 16 inches
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Latisha has two pieces of ribbon. One piece of ribbon is 48 inches and the other is 80 inches
Ribbon is to be cut into pieces of equal length
To find the greatest possible length of each piece, we have to find greatest common divisor of 48 and 80
The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the greatest factor that divides two numbers
<em><u>Steps to find G.C.F of 48 and 80</u></em>
1) Find the prime factorization of 48
2) Find the prime factorization of 80
3) To find the GCF, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:
Therefore,
So, 16 inches is the greatest possible length to cut so that every piece is of equal length.
