Question

if p and q are two positive integers such that p= 14. find HCF of p and q

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well it mainly depends on the options if it is a optional question

The question can be rewritten as (1+p)×(1+q)=14

It is given as positive integers so

It has two way of multiples

It can be

2×7=14

(1+p)=2 so p=1 and (1+q)=7 so q=6

Pq=1×6=6

____________

Or

1×14=14

So (1+p)=1 so p = 0 and (1+q)=14 so q = 13

So it gives

pq=0×13=0

So the answer may be 0 or 6 depends on the option or both
