    Answer:

    Hence, the maximum number of columns in which they can march is 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:–

    Number of member in an army = 616

    Number of members in band = 32

    To find out:–

    The maximum number of columns in which they can march

    Solution:–

    The maximum number of columns in which they can march = HCF (32, 616)

    So can use Euclid’s algorithm to find the HCF

    [By applying Division lemma, a = bq + r]

    Since 616 > 32, applying Euclid’s Division Algorithm we have

    616 = 32 * 19 + 8

    Since remainder ≠ 0

    we again apply Euclid’s Division Algorithm

    Since 32 > 8

    32 = 8 * 4 + 0

    Since remainder = 0 we conclude, 8 is the HCF of 616 and 32.

    The maximum number of columns in which they can march is 8
