Question

If HCF of 55 and 99 is expressible in the form 55m-99 ,then the value of m is:
a) 4
b) 2
c) 1
d) 3

Answer 1

Prime factorization of 55 = 5 * 11

Prime factorization of 99 = 3 * 3 * 11

HCF(55,99) = 11.

Now,

55m - 99 = 11

55m = 11 + 99

55m = 110

m = 110/55

m = 2.


Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

HII, MATE HERE'S YOUR ANSWER

ANSWER =》 m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

by taking HCF (55)= 5×11

(99)=3×3×11

SO,THE HCF IS =11;

NOW ,

55m - 99=11

55M= 11+99

55m = 110

m = 110/55

m=2

so, the ANSWER is m=2
