the largest length of the squares will be 120m.

What is the side length of the largest possible square lot she can use?

The largest possible length will be equal to the greatest common factor between the dimensions of the rectangular plot, so we need to find the GCF between 600 and 720.

If we decompose both numbers, we get:

600 = 2*2*2*3*5*5

720 = 2*2*2*2*3*3*5

Then the greatest common factor is: (2*2*2*3*5) = 120

So the largest length of the squares will be 120m.
