Yolo has 2 pieces of string. One is 32 inches long, the other is 48 inches long. She wants to make as many necklaces as she can, all of the same length. What is the longest necklace that can be made?

The Greatest Common Factor of 32 and 48 is 16.

The longest necklace she can make is of 16 inches length.
