Question

What is the greatest number that will divide 2930 and 3250 leaving remainder 2

Answer 1

Numbers we will use

=> 2930 - 7 = 2923

=> 3250 - 11 = 3239

Thus by Prime Factorisation Method

=> 2923 = 37 x 79

=> 3239 = 41 x 79

Thus HCF(2923,3239) = 79

Thus, the greatest number that will divide 2930 and 3250 to leave 7 and 11 as remainder.
