Sorry I can't understand why we are taking H. C. F. Of (4665 - 1305) , (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305).

Upto my understanding
(4665 - 1305)=3360, (6905 - 4665)=2240 and (6905 - 1305)=5600
3360:2240:5600
1120:1120:1120
So, Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4
Hope so,if am wrong means correct me

1120*3=3360
1120*2=2240
1120*5=5600
the highest common factorial num is:1120 for all 3 numbers
so that here 1+1+2+0=4 we got.....

How we know by seeing the numbers the H.C.F ?
Saraswati said:

First do this(4665 - 1305) , (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305). we ll get 3360,2240,5600. then divide by 10.. now
336=2*2*2*2*3*7*10
224=2*2*2*2*2*7*10
560=2*2*2*2*5*7*10
So take the common multiples.. now we got 2*2*2*2*7*10=1120( this 1120 is "N")
So, question asked here is sum of digits "N"??
"N" is 1120; sum of digits "N" is 1+1+2+0=4.
Tats it!;)

Why we are taking the HCF of (4665 - 1305) , (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305).
Plzzz explain.

Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4, how does it come and What N indicates?

Let they find the hcf of 3 numbers is that. 1350, 4665, 6905.
Why are they finding the hcf of 3360, 2240, 5600. And one more thing in the question they have that N divides this numbers with same reminder they didn't mention that "N exactly divides" or reminder is zero.
Yogesh said:
(Thu, Jun 30, 2011 11:28:39 AM)
HCF of 2240(smallest); 3360(middle); 5600(largest no)
Hi yogeash can you explain me the basic logic of hcf and lcm. How did we take numbers after factorising and what about co prime and the logic of selecting common factors. Please.

Hey anyone here can pls expain me why we take hcf of (4665 - 1305) , (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305).
Please explain if someone knows?

We have to find greatest num, hcf highest common factor.
So we did.

Hey please explain why we take hcf of 4665-1305, 6905-4665 ?
Sri said:
(Wed, Oct 19, 2011 10:56:42 PM)
In question itself they gave N is greatest no for that only we take hcf.
Other name of hcf is greatest common divisor (GCD).

Using successive division to find HCF of 1305,4665 and 6905 is 5
How it is 1120 ?

How will be taken sum of n digit(1+1+2+0)=4?
Piyush said:
(Sun, Feb 19, 2012 10:16:32 PM)
Hi saravanan..
in question it asks for "sum of digits in N" not "sum of n digits". As N=1120 so sum of digits i.e 1+1+2+0=4

@Madhu. They didn't mention exactly n divide these 3 numbers. They said when dividing it will leaves remainder please consider that part.
Alisha (Alice) said:

HCF (Highest Common Factor) is also known as GCD (Greater Common Divisor).
And, there are various ways through which one can find HCF of the given numbers. Among these, one of the methods is well explained by Yogesh and another by Saraswati.
Sai Krishnan K said:
(Thu, Jul 19, 2012 02:07:15 PM)
Why it is not taken 5. It also gives the same remainder 0.
M.Harish said:

1305, 4665, 6905 ----- These are the numbers.
In this question why we subtract the numbers because here it is said that they have same remainder.
So, 1305 = hcf * x + remainder.
4665 = hcf * y + remainder.
6905 = hcf * z + remainder.
Where x, y, z are respective quotients.
So. When we subtract those numbers, they become multiples of the hcf. Then we can directly calculate hcf.
Sanatan said:

The answer is actually 5 and is pretty simple. You can see by dividing the given numbers by 5 we get the same remainder zero as asked in the question.
As we have to find the max number which yields the same remainder for the given numbers. 4 is not the correct answer here.

Thanks saraswathi. I get answer for this types of problems by following your explanation. Thanks a lot.

We are taking hcf of (4665 - 1305) , (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305)..because in this way the remainder is cancelled...
take an example..
12 and 7..both give remainder 2 when divided by 5.
now when we substact (12-7) the differance 2 is cancelled ...
hence we get a number that is completely divisible i.e a factor of 5..(or the hcf).. :)
Rangan said:
(Tue, Aug 21, 2012 04:57:58 PM)
@Ramana : The Greatest common divisor (or the HCF) is not the solutiom needed here, it is rather the SUM OF THE DIGITS of THE HCF.
The Remainder being the same for each case, it is clear that subtracting the lesser no. from the greater ones renders the remainder zero. Also the HCF of te no.s left thereafter just wait to be known, because it perfectly divides the no.s and thus gets the same remainder in each case.
Gargi said:
(Tue, Aug 28, 2012 08:53:02 PM)
5 is not correct answer. As question is for sum of the greatest devider. And greatest number which devides all the given numbers is : 1120 so, digit sum of the same is 4.
Correct answer is: 4.
Helena said:

The clue is in the question. A digit by definition is any number between 0 & 9.
N = 1120.
The digits of 1120 are the digits, 1, 1, 2, 0.
There are four of them.
