Question

if the sum of 2 numbers is 4107 and hcf is 37 find the greater number

Answer 1

Answer:

If the HCF of the numbers is 37, the numbers could be 37a, 37b where a and b are co-prime. 37*a*37*b = 4107, a*b=3. Possible values of a, b are 1 and 3. So, the numbers would be 37 and 111, so the greater number is 111.
