Question

find the greatest number that divides 203 and 325 leaving remainder 3 and 5 respectively.​

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

• 203 - 3 = 200

• 325 - 5 = 320

Now by using Euclid's division algorithm :-

320 = 200 × 1 + 120

200 = 120 × 1 + 80

120 = 80 × 1 + 40

80 = 40 × 2 + 0

H.C.F = 40

Therefore, 40 is the greatest number that divides 203 and 325 leaving reminders 3 and 5 respectively
