Answer 1

Answer:

8 is the greatest number

Answer 2

Answer: 8 is the greatest number that divides both 523 and 651 leaving remainder 3 in each case.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest no., firstly subtract 3 from both no.s and then we obtain the no.s 520 and 648 respectively.

then we find the HCF---

520=2×2×2×5×13

648=2×2×2×3×3×3×3

So the highest common factor is = 2^3 =8
