Answer 2

hi

aim : to Find the greatest number that divides 38 and 53 leaving 8 as remainder in each case

=>  38 -  8 = 30

= 53 - 8 =  45

now lets find the hcf of 30 and 45

factors of 30 = 1,2,3,5,6,15,10,30

factors of 45 = 1, 3, 5, 9, 15 and 45.

so hcf

=>15

hence 15 is the greatest number that divides 38 and 53 leaving 8 as remainder in each case

hope it helps u
