Question 72
What is the highest number which when divides the numbers 1026, 2052 and 4102, leave remainders 2, 4 and 6 respectively?
Solution
Let's assume the highest number is 'y' when divides the numbers 1026, 2052 and 4102, leave remainders 2, 4 and 6 respectively.
So 1026-2 = 1024
2052-4 = 2048
4102-6 = 4096
Now we need to take the HCF of 1024, 2048 and 4096.
1024 = 1024
2048 = $$1024\times2$$
4096 = $$1024\times4$$
So the HCF for these = y = 1024
