Question

Find the greatest number which divides 203 and 434 leaving remainder 5. In Each Case

Answer 1

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since remainder is 5 in each case, we subtract 5 from both the numbers.

2) We get 203-5=198

                 434-5=429

3) Now we need to find the H.C.F(highest common factor) of these numbers

    198 = 2*3*3*11

    429 = 3*11*13

     Clearly, the common factors are 3 and 11. Therefore H.C.F is 11*3=33. (Multiplying them gives us the greatest factor)

I hope you've understood the answer. Good luck and stay safe!! :) :)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

203-5 = 198

434-5= 429

hcf of 198 and 429 is 33
