The difference between two natural numbers is 73 . If the greatest number is divided by the smaller number, the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 4.Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{The required numbers are 96 and 23}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let the two numbers be x and y with x>y}$

$\text{As per given data, we have}$

$x-y=73.........(1)\\\\x=4y+4........(2)$

$\text{Using (2) in (1), we get}$

$(4y+4)-y=73$

$3y=69$

$\implies\bf\,y=23$

$x=4(23)+4=96$

$\therefore\text{The required numbers are 96 and 23}$

Answer 2
