All common factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

All possibilities:

1. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 1 carpet, then Ms. Johnson space length is 48 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 36 carpets.

2. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 2 carpets, then Ms. Johnson space length is 24 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 18 carpets.

3. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 3 carpets, then Ms. Johnson space length is 16 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 12 carpets.

4. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 4 carpets, then Ms. Johnson space length is 12 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 9 carpets.

5. If Ms. Johnson space width and Mr. Wei space width is 6 carpets, then Ms. Johnson space length is 8 carpets and Mr. Wei space length is 6 carpets.
