    Question

    The greatest number, which divides 1163 and 2214 to leave 15 and 82 respectively as remainders, is:

    A.

    173

    B.

    169

    C.

    159

    D.

    164

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    The greatest number divides 1163 and 2214, leaving remainders 15 and 82 respectively.
    Formula Used:
    Required greatest number = HCF(Number1 - Remainder1, Number2 - Remainder2  )
    Solution:
    Number1 = 1163, Remainder1 = 15
    Number2 = 2214, Remainder2 = 82
    New values: 1163 − 15 = 1148 and 2214 − 82 = 2132
    Now find HCF(1148, 2132) using step-by-step division method:
    2132 ÷ 1148 => Quotient = 1, Remainder = 984
    1148 ÷ 984 => Quotient = 1, Remainder = 164
    984 ÷ 164 => Quotient = 6, Remainder = 0
    The greatest number is 164.
