Find the least number of square tiles which can be fitted in a rectangle plot whose length and width are 284 mt. and 248 mt.

4402

HCF of 284 and 248 is ⇒ 04

(It means we can put the square tiles having measurement of 04 × 04 to cover the floor completely)

No. of tiles = \(\frac{area\;of\;floor}{area\;of\;one\;tile}\) = \(\frac{284\;×\;248}{4\;×\;4}\) = 4402

**Alternate:

284 : 248 ⇒ 71 : 62 (other factors)

No. of tiles = (product of two other factors) = 71×62 = 4402
