6
3
1
4

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Least possible value that x-y take is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are positive integers such that x / y is a multiple of 4

so x should be greater than y

we have to find least possible value of x-y

positive integers are 1 ,2,3,4,5,6,....

in which least positive integer is 1

so,

Here

$\frac{x}{y} = 4$

Here x should be greater than y

so y takes least possible value 1

then x is 4.

so,

$x - y = 4 - 1 = 3$

so the least possible value that x-y take is 3
