Question

The difference between two positive integer is 16. The quotient when one is divided by the other is 5. Find integer​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one positive integer be x

other integer = x-16

Quotient when x is divided by x-16 = 5

According to the question

$\frac{x}{x - 16} = 5 \\ x = 5(x - 16) \\ x = 5x - 80 \\ 5x - x = 80 \\ 4x = 80 \\ x = \frac{80}{4} \\ x = 20$

The first no. = x = 20

other integer = x-16 = 20-16 = 4
