Question

find the largest number which on dividing 1156 and 1231 leave a remainder of 12 and 9 respectively

Answer 1

1156 - 12 = 1144

1231 - 9 = 1222

now find the HCF of 1144 and 1222

we get the HCF of (1144 , 1222) = 26

show the largest number which divide 1156 and 123 1 leave a reminder of 12 and 9 respectively is 26.

Answer 2

Answer:

1156-12=1144

1231-9=1222

Now find the H.C.F of 1144 and 1222

We get the H.C.F of (1144,1222)=26
