Answer» Answer: 138 Step-by-step EXPLANATION: To FIND the HCF(highest common factor) as it says "the greatest number which divides" Now to solve this, first you need to subtract the GIVEN remainders from their given respective terms : 284 - 8 = 276 and 1252 - 10 = 1242 Now as we have these two new numbers, we need to find the HCF of them : by USING Euclid's division lemma, a=bq+r , where b>r>or=0 (this can also be solved by TAKING out the common factors of both the numbers) in this case, a=1242 , b=276 1242 = 276 × 4 + 138 276=138×2+0 as the remainder is now zero, therefore 138 is the required number |
