A long wire of some length is cut into small pieces of 216 cm,leaves a small piece of length of 89 cm.If this part were cut into equal pieces each of 18 cm,the length of the leftover wire would be?
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "18 is a factor of 216 - 216 = 18*12
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "The leftover piece of 89 cms can be cut in pieces of 18 cm
\n" ); document.write( "89/18 < 5
\n" ); document.write( "--> 4 pieces of 18 cms
\n" ); document.write( "--> 89 - 4*18 left
\n" ); document.write( "--> 17 cms left over
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
