Question

find largest number which divides 56 and 42 , n leaves remainder 3 in each case.​

Answer 1

Answer:

not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

for this we need HCF of (56-3) and (42-3)

that is hcf of 53 and 39

53=1×53

39= 3×13

therefore HCF is 1

but when we divide any number by 1 we get remainder 0 therefore no number can divide 56 and 42 to give remainder 3 in each case
