questions H.C.F

Q1 -  Find the greatest number that will divide 185 and 300 leaving remainder 3 and 5 respectively.

A1 – Since dividing 185 the remainder left is 32, 182 will be exactly divisible by that number.

Similarly 300-6 = 294 will be exactly divisible by the number.

So the required H.C.F  of 182 and 294 is 2 * 7 = 14

Q2 – Find the H.C.F of (2x^2 – x -1) and (4x^2 + 8x + 3)

Try this one…..

Ans is ( 2x + 1)
