Answer: The greatest number is 63
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the greatest number that will divide 455, 582 and 710 leaving remainders 14, 15 and 17 respectively be z.
Remainder when 455 is divided by z = 14
Number which is exactly divisible by z = 455 - 14
Number which is exactly divisible by z = 441
Remainder when 582 is divided by z = 15
Number which is exactly divisible by z = 582 - 15
Number which is exactly divisible by z = 567
Remainder when 710 is divided by z = 17
Number which is exactly divisible by z = 710 - 17
Number which is exactly divisible by z = 693
∴ z = HCF of 441, 567 and 693
441 = 3 × 3 × 7 × 7
567 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 7
693 = 3 × 3 × 7 × 11
HCF = 3 × 3 × 7
HCF = 63
∴ z = 63
