The largest number which divides 85 and 77, leaving remainders 5 and 7 respectively = The H.C.F of (85 - 5) and (77 - 7)
= The H.C.F of 80 and 70.
(By prime factor method)
Since, 80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
and, 70 = 2 × 5 × 7
H.C.F of 80 and 70 = Product of common prime factors
= 2 × 5 = 10
Therefore, the largest number which divides 85 and 77, leaving remainders 5 and 7 respectively = 10
