Question

Find the largest no. that divides 2053 and 967 and leaves a remainder of 5and 7 respectively

Answer 1

Given, Numbers are 2053 and 967, remainders are 5,7

2053 - 5 = 2048

967 - 7 = 960

HCF of 2048 and 960 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 

                                     = 64


So, the largest number = 64.
