Question

Which is the greatest number that will devide 91,43 and 183 such that it leaves the same remainder every time?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 is the greatest number that will divide 91,43 and 183 leaving the same remainder 3 every time

Step-by-step explanation:

183 - 91 = 92

183 - 43 = 140

91 - 43 = 48

--------------------------------------------

48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

92 = 2 x 2 x 23

140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7

HCF = 2 x 2 = 4

in this case we first find the differences of the numbers and then find the hcf.
