document.write( "The number of identical towers must be a factor of both 48 and 40\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The greatest common divisor of 48 and 40 is 8\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "48 = 8×6\r\n" );
document.write( "40 = 8×5\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the greatest number of towers is 8.\r\n" );
