To find the answer to this problem, we need to figure out what number can be divided by 3 and 4 at the same time?

In math, that number is called a common multiple; there are more than one common multiple for 3 and 4, but we need to find the smallest ("What is the least number of parts...")

The smallest common multiple for 3 and 4 is 12.

So, the least number of parts in which both rectangles could be divided is 12

Other numbers that could be divided by 3 and 4 at the same time are 24, 48 etc, but the smallest is 12.
