What is the greatest number which divides 24, 28 and 34 and leaves the same remainder in each case?

1
2
3
4
Explanation:

If the remainder is same in each case and remainder is not given, HCF of the

differences of the numbers is the required greatest number.

34 - 24 = 10

34 - 28 = 6

28 - 24 = 4

Hence, the greatest number which divides 24, 28 and 34 and gives the same remainder

= HCF of 10, 6, 4

= 2
