Question

The largest number which divides 70 and 125 leaving remainders 5 and 8 respectively is

Answer 1

Answer:

13

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.
