Question 252558: you are planning to put a tile border along a 126-inch-wide wall in your kitchen. You want to use only whole tiles. List all the possible whole number tile widths you could use. If the tiles are only sold in whole number widths for 6 inches or less, what size tiles could you use?

Here we need to look at the factors of 126:
1 x 126
2 x 63
3 x 42
6 x 21
we stop at 6, due to the question restrictions.
we could use 126, 1 in. tiles.
we could use 63, 2 in. tiles.
we could use 42, 3 in. tiles.
we could use 21, 6 in. tiles.
