Mathematics Question on Tests for Divisibility of Numbers
Three boys step off together from the same spot. Their steps measure 63 cm, 70 cm and 77 cm respectively. What is the minimum distance each should cover so that all can cover the distance in complete steps?
Answer
For finding minimum distance, we have to find L.C.M of 63, 70 and 77.
L.C.M. of 63, 70 and 77 = 7 x 9 x 10 x 11 = 6930 cm.
Therefore, the minimum distance is 6930 cm.
