You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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?
--------
18 is a factor of 216 - 216 = 18*12
-----------
The leftover piece of 89 cms can be cut in pieces of 18 cm
89/18 < 5
--> 4 pieces of 18 cms
--> 89 - 4*18 left
--> 17 cms left over
