For the greatest value of p that divide each equation we take the HCF of 48,92,140
THEREFORE ANSWER IS 4.

How to arrive at this equation p(q2-q1)= (91-43) from 43 = pq1 + r;
91 = pq2 + r;
183 = pq3 + r;
Hary said:

Solving the equations:
91=pq2+r
43=pq1+r
_________________
48=pq2-pq1
thus
48=p(q2-q1)=91-43.

Simply divide each number by 4 the remainder is same for all so the answer is 4.

Simply try divide to divide each by the options, by this which is exactly divided then that is the answer.

Acc to the formulae H.C.F. of [(H.C.F. of any two) and (the third number)] gives the H.C.F. of three given number.
So as per the first formulae the hcf of 183 & 43 is comming 10
n the third no. is 91 so how will 4 be the ans

I don't understand why we need to find the difference. Please explain the logic behind it.
Komal said:
(Wed, Feb 9, 2011 07:40:15 AM)
The difference is used to get the common factors between two nos. it will eliminate the uncommon factors.
And at-last we have only to pick up the highest common factor...
you can try with an example for 30 and 10.
factors of (30) = 5,2,3
factors of (10) = 5,2
factors of (30-10) = 5,2
Habib said:

The difference is taken to analyze the pattern. Amongst the numbers !
Ie each difference tells us that these numbers are multiples of 4 and have the same remainder because all numbers can be divided by 4.
Hence you get 4.

Mini said:
(Tue, Jul 12, 2011 10:37:34 AM)
Why they took the differences of given 3 numbers and then calculated the H.C.F.
Why didn't they simply calculate the H.C.F OF GIVEN 3 NUMBERS.
Mysterious said:
(Sun, Jul 17, 2011 05:19:47 AM)
@Mini and all friends
If it was just asked to find the HCF of 43,91,183 then simply the Division method or Factorization method had been applied.
But here it is stated that "so as to leave the same remainder in each case", that's why the difference of the numbers is calculated.

Ranjeet said:
(Fri, Oct 7, 2011 01:28:46 AM)
Simply because there is no same factor of these no and they don't divide by each other when we divide 91 by 43 there remainder is 5 that is not the divisible of 43. So we take this method to explanation.
Uzair said:
(Tue, Oct 11, 2011 08:47:23 PM)
U guys are not understanding the meaning of H.C.F actually...i'll give an example and an explanation!
Highest common factor
Here are the list of prime factors of 24 and 36:
24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
If we write down the numbers that are the same in both lists, they will give us the highest common factor of 24 and 36:
HCF of 24 and 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
This is the meaning of H.C.F...so simple! :D

Can any one explain how to identify. Whether the problem is based on HCF or least common multiple. Is there any key words?
Raje said:

Simply way is divide 43, 81 and 183 by 4 we get the same remainder 3 for all.

No need to difference between them.
Simply take one by one option and divide given number in question (43, 91 and 183) and equate remainder.
No need to difference between them. Okay friends. So simple !

Swetha and prashanth explanation is good. And abve some are all in kids formulas. . . So dont look others friends.
Here take the difference between the numbers then start dividing.
48/2, 92/2, 140/2
Then
48/2=2*2*2*2*3
92/2=2*2*23
140/2=2*2*35
So HCF is [nothing but the highest common factor].
So HCFis 2*2=4.

It is very simple
consider
43,91,183 are the 3 numbers
first ,
find the diff between them
91-43=48;
183-91=92;
183-43=140;
let divide the 48,92,140,by 2
we have
48=2*2*2*2*3
92=2*2*23
140=2*2*149
here common factor is 2*2
so
answer is 4
Mayank said:
(Tue, Jun 5, 2012 05:54:01 PM)
4*22-gives rem 3.
4*10-gives rem3.
4*45-also gives rem 3.
All three numbers have equal rem 3 satisfies condition given in number. Hence ans is 4.

I seem to be getting so confused.
Karthick said:
(Sat, Jun 16, 2012 11:08:36 AM)
@Cathy.
The keyword is greatest or largest- if you find these words, we are required to find HCF. If in case you find least or lowest in the problem, we need to find LCM.
Ankur Jindal said:
(Sun, Jun 17, 2012 10:06:59 PM)
If three nos as in this case is 43, 91 and 183 are given then to find HCF the shortest solution is take the diff:
When pratibhan said the common factor is 2 ok this is write but why she multiple two no of 2 whyn't three no of 2 means the result is 8.
Rdbaby said:
(Mon, Oct 1, 2012 12:25:55 AM)
@ Merry.
Pratibhan meant, the common thing coming in prime factor list of all 3 nos is 2*2, i.e 4.

What is different between HCF & LCM?
And what is the meaning HCF & LCM?
Prasand. said:
(Thu, Jan 24, 2013 08:48:58 PM)
1.The HCF of two or more numbers is the largest common factor of the given numbers. It is the smallest number which divides the two or more given numbers.
The LCM of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a common multiple of two or more numbers. It is the smallest number which is divisible by two or more given numbers.
Consider two numbers 120 and 144.
Prime factorization of 120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
Prime factorization of 144 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
HCF of 120 and 144 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24. 24 is the smallest number which divides both 120 and 144.
LCM of 120 and 144 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 720. 720 is the smallest number which is divisible by both 120 and 144.
2.HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR (H.C.F).
LOWEST COMMON MULTIPLE (L.C.M.).
