Difference of number =72
let the first number be x
and second number =x-72
According to question
x/x-72=3
x=3(x-72)
x=3x-216
x-3x=-216
x=216/2
x=108
and second number =x-72=108-72=36
sorry I was read wrongly hope this help full

ADIMISIMM: On diving, the quotient is not 3
aniketkumar51: bro I have minused 3from X because it is question. OK let's understand by example - 10is divided by 3 then quotient =1 so we have to subtract one from 10 to made divisible
