The size of each section is to be selected in such a way, It divides both 576 and 488 exactly.

So you have to find HCF of 576 and 448 girls.

576 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2x 3 x 3
448 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7
Highest Common Factors = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64

(The Highest Common Factor (HCF) is the largest positive integer that divides all the given numbers. Hence the HCF is the biggest size for forming groups.)

Hence, number of sections required;
(576 ÷ 64) + (448 ÷ 64)
= 9 + 7 = 16.

Therefore, Total number of sections thus formed are 16.
