Question

What is the greatest number that can divide 332 and 370 with remainder 4 and 1 respectively?

Answer 1

Find HCF of (332-4), (370-1)

HCF of 328,369

328 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 41
369 = 3 x 3 x 41

So, HCF is 41


The required greatest number is 41 

Answer 2

Answer :

The greatest number that can divide 332 and 370 with remainder 4 and 1 respectively is 41.

Step by step explanation :

Hey Mate,

First subtract 4 and  from 332 and 370. Then find out the HCF of new numbers.

So,

332 - 4 = 328

370 - 1 = 369

Now,

The HCF of 328 and 369 is 41.

So,

The greatest number that can divide 332 and 370 with remainder 4 and 1 respectively is 41.
