Question

What is the greatest number that will divide 139,184 and 424, leaving the remainder 4 in each case??

Answer 1

A solution is defined as a:

A .

Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances

B .

Heterogeneous mixture of two or more substances

C .

Homogeneous mixture of liquid and solid components only

D .

Homogeneous mixture consisting of water as one of the components

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. A solution may exist in any phase. 

A solution consists of a solute and a solvent. 

The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent.

For example, in a saline solution, salt is the solute dissolved in water as the solvent.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the greatest number x

so according to question

139,184 / x = 4 , 424 / x = 4

first case

139,184 = 4

x

139,184 = x

4

34796 = x

second case :

424 = 4

x

424 = x

4

106 = x

now by fundamental theorem of algorithm we find the highest common factor

34796 = 106 * 328 + 28

106 = 28 * 3 + 22

28 = 22 * 1 + 6

22 = 6 *3 + 4

6 = 4 * 1 + 2

4 = 2*2 + 0

so the highest common factor is 2
