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
