Answer: She can either arrange them in 7 columns or 6 columns.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Total number of pots = 42
In order to arrange the pots in the same number of columns so that each column has an equal number of pots, we will find out the factors of 42.
42 = 6 × 7
42 = 1 × 42
Garima can arrange 6 pots in 7 columns or 7 pots in 6 columns so as to have equal number of pots.
Hence, she can either arrange them in 7 columns or 6 columns.
