Karen has a red ribbon that is 18 feet long and a blue ribbon that is 12 feet long. She wants to cut both ribbons into pieces that are all the same length and she wants no ribbon leftover when she is done. What is the greatest length in feet, of each piece of ribbon that she can cut?

If Karen has a red ribbon that is 18 feet long and a blue ribbon that is 12 feet long and cutting has been done then the greatest length in feet in which each piece of ribbon that she can cut is 6 feet.

What is HCF?

HCF is the largest number which can divide all the numbers whose HCF is found.

How to find length?

We have been given length of red and blue ribbon which Karen cuts in equal lengths so the greatest length of each piece of ribbon that she can cut can be found by taking HCF of 18 and 12.

18=2*3*3

12=2*2*3

HCF=2*3

=6

Hence if Karen has a red ribbon that is 18 feet long and a blue ribbon that is 12 feet long and cutting has been done then the greatest length in feet in which each piece of ribbon that she can cut is 6 feet.
