Question

find the largest which divide 245 and 1037 livinh remainder 5 in each case​

Answer 1

Answer 24

Answer. Clearly, the required number divides (245 - 5) = 240 and (1037 - 5) = 1032 exactly. So, the required number is HCF of (240, 1032). Hence, the largest number which divides 245 and 1037, leaving remainder 5 is 24.
