Answer»

In order to find the greatest number which will divide 2112 and 2792 leaving the remainder 4 in each case follow the below steps:-

Let us assume the requirednumber is x.

In order to make 2112 and 2792 completely divisible by x,deduct remainder 4 fromboth 2112 and 2792.

2112 - 4 = 2108

2792 - 4 = 2788

Now we've to find the HCF of 2108 and 2788.

2108 = 4 x 17 x 312788 = 4 x 17 x 41

HCF is 4 x 17 = 68.

Therefore,the greatest number which will divide 2112 and 2792 leaving the remainder 4 in each case is 68.
