Given:

An army contingent of 612 members is to march behind an army band of 48 members.

Here, HCF of 612 and 48 will give the maximum number of columns in which the two groups can march.

So, using Euclid's division algorithm

612=48×12+36

⇒48=36×1+12

→36=12×3+0

∴HCF(612,48)=12

Hence, the maximum no of columns in which they can march is 12
