    Question

    What is the greatest number that will divide 175 and 385 leaving the remainders 4 and 5, respectively?

    A.

    21

    B.

    20

    C.

    22

    D.

    19

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    The number divides 175 leaving a remainder of 4

    The number divides 385 leaving a remainder of 5

    Solution:

    175 - 4 = 171

    385 - 5 = 380

    Now,

    171 = 32 × 19

    380 = 22 × 5 × 19

    HCF (171, 380) = 19

    Thus, the greatest number that will divide 175 and 385 leaving remainders 4 and 5, respectively, is 19.
