Question

Find the greatest number that divides 340 and 850 exactly without leaving a reminder

Answer 1

Answer :-

The greatest number that divides 340 and 850 without leaving remainder is the HCF of 340 and 850 -

HCF ( 340 , 850 ) = 170

So the greatest number that divides 340 and 850 without leaving remainder is 170.

Answer 2

Given:

Find the greatest number that divides 340 and 850 exactly without leaving a reminder

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the factor of 340 and 850,

$\[\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow 340 = 17 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5\\ \Rightarrow 850 = 17 \times 5 \times 2 \times 5\end{array}\]$

Find the HCF,

$\[\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow 17 \times 2 \times 5\\ \Rightarrow 170\end{array}\]$

Hence, the greatest number that divides 340 and 850 without leaving remainder is 170.
