Explanation:
From the above statement...
The greatest number divides 70 and leaves remainder 5...
70 - 5 = 65 and 65 = 13 × 5
The greatest number divides 125 and leaves remainder 8...
125 - 8 = 117 and 117 = 3 × 3 × 13
So taking HCF of 65 and 117 we get 13 which is the largest number which divides 70 and 125 and leaving remainder 5 and 8
