Question

the largest number which divides 70 and 125 leaving remainders 5 and 8 respectively​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to find the largest number which divides 70 and 125 leaving remainders 5 and 8 respectively​,

70-5 = 65 , (now it is completely divisible since remainder has went to other side) and similarly 125-8= 117, Now find the HCF of 65 and 117,

Using Euclid's division algorithm,

117 = (65×1)+52,

65 = (52×1) + 13,

52 = (13×4)+ 0, So 13 is HCF and the no. which divides accordingly.
