Question

32490 can be factorised into a x b where a,b are natural numbers and a > b.
What is minimum difference between a and b.

​

Answer 1

$\bf\large\underline\pink{Solution:-}$

34290= 361×90

a=361., b=90

a>b

Difference = a - b

= 361-90

=271

Answer 2

The minimum difference between a=361 and b=90 is 271.

• The number 32490 can be factorized as 5*2*3*3*19*19
• The products of 5,2,3 and 3 and 19,19 will give the minimum difference
• Therefore a=361 and b=90
• They also satisfy the condition a>b.
