Answer 1

Answer:

the value of m is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the hcf of 65 and 117 is 13

65m = 130

m = 130/65

m = 2

hope it will help you

Answer 2

117 = 1 × 65 + 52

65 = 1 × 52 + 13

52 = 4 × 13 + 0

HCF of 65 and 117 is 13.

65m - 117 = 13

65m = 117 + 13 = 130

So, m = 2

d) 2 is the correct answer.
