Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 127 Concept used: HCF = Highest common factor The greatest number which divides each of the two or more numbers is called HCF or Highest Common Factor. Calculations: Required number = H.C.F. of (1657 - 6) and (2037 - 5) H.C.F. of 1651 and 2032 1651 = 13 × 127 2032 = 4 × 4 × 127 HCF of 1651 and 2032 = 127 ∴ The greatest number which on dividing 1657 and 2037 leaves remainders 6 and 5 respectively, is 127. |
