Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum number of columns in which both the contingent of 616 members and the army band of 32 members can march, we need to calculate the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of the two numbers. We will use the Euclidean division method to find the HCF. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the two numbers**: We have 616 (members of the contingent) and 32 (members of the army band). 2. **Apply the Euclidean algorithm**: - We start by dividing the larger number (616) by the smaller number (32). ...
