Let N1 = 255 + 1 and N2 = 165.Then(a) N1 and N2 are co-prime(b) the HCF (Highest Common Factor) of N1 and N2 is 55(c) the HCF of N1 and N2 is 11(d) the HCF of N1 and N2 is 33

Answer»

Answer is : (d) the HCF of N1 and N2 is 33

It is given that, N2 = 165

= 3 x 5 x 11 and N1 = 255 + 1

As we know that, if n is odd integer then xn + yn is divisible by x + y.

So, N1 = 255 + 155 is divisible by 2 + 1 = 3 and N1 = 255 + 155

= (25)11 + (15)11 = (32)11 + (1)11

is divisible by 32 + 1 = 33

∴ the HCF of N1 and N2 is 33.
