Why can't we think like this, In given four option one is HCF of 43, 91, 183. And leave the same reminder as per the question.
Let me consider 4 is HCF then divide the numbers by four. It shows the same reminder hence 4 is the answer.

Hi.
In question, they gave a greatest number, in the sense.
Ex- if you take 4 as a greater num for the given question.
Means this is the greater num which divides all the dividend if you take 5 it won't divide all' the dividends.
If they ask greater num -then take smaller num in the choices and divide all the dividends by that num if you get remainder same then that is the answer.
