Question

What is the greatest number that will divide 4144 and 7828?

Answer 1

Answer:  The answer is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We need to find the greatest number that will divide 4144 and 7828.

For that, we should find the H.C.F. of these two given numbers.

We have

4144 = 2 × 2 × 1036,

and

7828 = 2 × 2 × 1957.

Also, 1036 and 1957 do not have any common factor. So, the H.C.F. of 4144 and 7828 = 2 × 2 = 4.

Thus, the answer is 4.
