Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 27 Given: The number is 165, 246, 300, and 408 The remainder is 3 in each case Concept: First, subtract 3 from each number then find the HCF of the obtained number after subtracting. Calculation: 165 - 3 = 162, 246 - 3 = 243, 300 - 3 = 297, 408 - 3 = 405 Now, find the HCF of 162, 243, 297, and 405 162 = 27 × 6 243 = 27 × 9 297 = 27 × 11 405 = 27 × 15 Now, we see that nothing is common among (6, 9, 11, 15) so highest common factor is 27. ∴ The required greatest number is 27. |
