Question

find the largest number that divide 300 and 320 leaving 5 as a remainder

Answer 1

Answer: 105.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to determine the greatest common factor of 320 of 740 after subtracting 5 from each number. Then the numbers become 320-5=315 & 740-5=735. 315=3×105 & 735=7×105. The greatest common factor is 105. So when 320 & 740 will be divided by 105 the remainder will be 5 for both the divisions.
