Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
leaving 6 and 7 as reminders respectively suggests that we have to subtract 6 and 7 from the numbers, so that there is no remainder left.
2008 - 6 = 2002
2625 - 7 = 2618
the greatest number which divides them equally means that we have to find the HCF of the numbers.
refer attachment for finding HCF
here, the HCF is 2. so, the answer is 2.
