Question

The largest no. which divides 70 and 125 leaving remainder 5 and 8 respectively is?

Answer 1

13

Since, 5 and 8 are remainders of 70 and 125 respectively. Thus, after subtracting these remainders from the numbers, we have the number 65 = (70 - 5), 117 = (125 - 8), which is divisible by the required number. Hence, 13 is the largest number which divides 70 and 125, leaving remainders 5 and 8

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Number when divides 70 and 125 leaves remainders 5 and

8, then

70−5=65

125−8=117

then HCF of 65 and 117 is

65=5×13

117=3×3×13

Hence, HCF of 65 and 117 is 13.

13 is the largest number which divides 70 and 125 and leaves remainders 5 and 8.
