Question

2. Find the greatest number that will divide 23 and 32, leaving 5 as a
remainder in each case.​

Answer 1

Numbers are:

23 - 5 = 18

32 - 5 = 27

H.C.F = 9

So your answer is 9

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number x will divide both the number leaving the remainder 5

the x will divide 23-5, 32-5 without leaving the remainder

now find HCF of 18,27

which is 9 thus

x= 9 is the number which divide 23 and 32 leaving the remainder 5.
