Question

If the HCF of 26and65is expressed in the form 26x-65 then find the value of x

Answer 1

Find HCF of the nos and put that equal to 26x-65
U will get the answer

Answer 2

Hii friend,

Prime factorisation of 26 = 2 × 13

Prime factorisation of 65 = 5 × 13

Therefore,

HCF of 26 and 65 = 13

26X - 65 = 13

26X = 13+65

26X = 78

X = 78/26

X = 3.


Hence,

X = 3
