    This is the concept of of application of Greatest Common Factor (GCF). The greatest length each piece can be will be found from GCF of 153 and 204

    153=51*3

    204=51*4

    GCF (153,204) = 51

    therefore the GCF of 153 and 204 is 51. We conclude that the greatest length each piece can be will be 51 cm long.
