- H.C.F of((91-43),(183-91),(183-43))=H.C.F of(48,92,140)=4

- To get the required solution,
we have to find the highest common factor... and given that it leave the same remainder...
so we have to find the number as follows:
H.C.F. of (91-43),(183-91) and (183-43)
=H.C.F. of 48,92,140 =4. - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(3)
- A. is the correct option.
the greatest no. that will divide 43,91 and 183 to leave same remainder in each case is 4 and the remainder in each case is 3. - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(1)
- the number will be a even no. to have a remainder same here... and it is 4...which gives remainder 3 in each case.....

- 43%4=3,91%4=3,183%4=3 so ans=4

- 43/4 gives remainder 3
91/4 gives remainder 3
183/4 gives remainder 3 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 43 ÷ No remainder x
91 ÷ No remainder x
183 ÷ No remainder x
that means (43 – x), (91 – x) and (183 – x) are divisible by required number.
Rule : GCD is also a factor of sum or differences of number
so find subtraction of numbers
91 – 43 = 48
183 – 91 = 52
48 = 4 × 12
52 = 4 × 13
GCD is 4
so required number is 4
43/4 = remainder 3
91/4 = = remainder 3
183/4 = remainder 3 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 4 ,the remainder of 43,91,183 is 0 by 4
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- hcf[(91-43),(183-91),(183-43)]=4
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
