| Find the greatest number that will divide 448, 525, 720 and leaves the remainder 11, 12 and 17 respectively.
A. 17
B. 19
C. 23
D. 25
Right Answer is: B
SOLUTION
Required number = HCF of (448 – 11, 525 – 12, 720 – 17)
= HCF of (437, 517, 703)
We get the HCF by factorization method:
437 = 19×23
513 = 19×3×3×3
703 = 19×37
We will get 19 as HCF which be the required number.
