Answer 1

therefore,18 will be the hcf for 853 and 385

Answer 2

Answer: 18 is the largest number which divides 853 and 385 leaving remainder 7 in each case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A number which divides 853 and 385 leaving remainder 7 in each case.

So, we take the number:

$853-7=846\\\\385-7=378$

Now, we take the H.C.F. of 846 and 378 i.e. 18.

Hence, 18 is the largest number which divides 853 and 385 leaving remainder 7 in each case.
