Find the greatest number that divides 165, 246, 300, and 408 to leave 3 remainders in each case.1. 212. 233. 274. 29

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.
