This is the question i wanted to ask:
'I am a number between 20 and 30.If you divide 71 and 94 by me,the remainder is 2.What the number?
let us subtract 2(remainder) from two given number 71 and 94
new number will be 69 and 92
take HCF of 69 and 92
69= 23x3
92 = 23x2x2
HCF common is 23
therefor HCF is 23 which is lies between 20 and 30
so 23 is the number which if divide 71 and 94 there will be 2 remainder
Answer 23
