The greatest number, which when subtracted from 5834, gives a number exactly divisible by each of 20, 28, 32 and 35, is
Given: Numbers- First = 5834
Second = x (Suppose)
And number (5834 - x) is divisible by each of 20,28,32,35
Let's say it is y
Hence 5834 - x = y
or x = 5834 - y
Now for x to be greatest y should be least
hence y should be least common multiple of 20,28,32,35
y = 1120
now x = 5834 - 1120
x = 4714
