Question

The greatest number which when divides 989 and 1327 leave remainders 5 and 7 respectively is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 989 - 5 = 984
2. 1327 - 7 = 1320
3. Subtract the remainder from the number.
4. HCF = (984, 1320) = 24

(for greatest number take HCF of the numbers.)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose the number is x,

When we divide 989 by x the remainder is 5

So 984 is divisible by x

When we divide 1327 by x the remainder is 7

So 1320 is divisible by x

The number=Hcf of 984 and 1320=24
