Question

The difference of two numbers is 642.
When the greater number is divided by
the smaller number, the quotient is 8 and
the remainder is 19. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let,x and y

x/y=12 *8/x

12x+8=642

12x=642-8

=634

x=634/12

=52.83

Answer 2

GIven that ,

Dividend is greater than Divisor by 642. Therfore , let,

                    Dividend = x + 642.  

                   Divisor = x  

                   Quotient = 8

                     Remainder = 19. We know that,

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder. Therefore,

x+642 + X.8 + 19.

X + 642 = 8X + 19.

642 - 19 = 8X - X

7X = 623

X = 623/7

X = 89.

Therefore, Divisor = 89  

               Dividend = X+642=731.
