13 is the number which holds gud for the question

Answer 2

Answer: The largest number will be 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Two numbers are 70 and 125.

Remainder will be 5 and 8 respectively.

So, the number becomes

$70-5=65\\\\125-8=117$

We need to find the largest number i.e. H.C.F. of 65 and 117.

which will be equal to 13,

$\because\ 65=1,5,13,65\\\\117=1,13,9,117.$

Hence, the largest number will be 13.
