Question

find the greatest number which divided 203 and 434 leaving remainder 5 in each case​

Answer 1

Answer:

If there is a remainder of 5 in each case the you can just subtract 5 from each number and compare the factors of those numbers.

For instance 203–5=198 and the factors of 198 are 1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,33,66,99,198.

Similarly 434–5=429 and the factors of 429 are 1,3,11,13,33,39,143,429

The greatest factor of shared between these two numbers is 33. This, the greatest number which divides 203 and 434 leaving a remainder of 5 in each case is 33.
