Length of the  courtyard = 18 m 72 cm = 1800 cm + 72 cm = 1872 cm (therefore, 1 m = 100 cm)
Breadth of the courtyard = 13 in 20 cm = 1300 cm + 20 cm = 1320 cm
To find the square tile of maximum side we take the HCF of 1872 and 1320
Prime factorization of 1872 = 24 {tex}\times{/tex} 32 {tex}\times{/tex} 13
Prime factorization of 1320 = 23 {tex}\times{/tex} 3 {tex}\times{/tex} 5 {tex}\times{/tex} 11
HCF of 1872 and 1320 = 23 {tex}\times{/tex} 3 = 24
Therefore, Length of side of the square tile = 24 cm
Number of tiles required = Area of the courtyard / Area of each tile = (Length {tex}\times{/tex} Breadth) /Side2
= (1872 cm {tex}\times{/tex} 1320 cm) ÷ (24 cm {tex}\times{/tex} 24 cm) = 4290.
Hence 4290 tiles are required.
