If square tiles with different sizes are allowed it follows that the largest tile she can use is 15×15.15\times 15.

If different square tiles must have the same sizes, it follows that the largest tile she can use is gcd(15,24)×gcd(15,24)=3×3,gcd(15,24)\times gcd(15,24)=3\times 3, where gcd(15,24)gcd(15,24) is the greatest common divisor of 15 and 24.
