Find the greatest number which will divide 12288, 28200, 44333 so as to leave the same remainder in each case.
\n" ); document.write( "a) 221 b) 120 c) 272 d) none of these
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a) 221, had a remainder of 133 in each, I can't think of an easy way to do this. Thank goodness for calculators (Tried 120 into 282200; even, so we can throw that out.)
