Let N be the greatest number that will divide 1305, 4665 and 6905, leaving the same remainder in each case. Then sum of the digits in N is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305)
= H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120.
Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4

@All.
The solution is;
=> 1305/4= remiander is .250, 4664/4= .250 and 6905/4= .250
1305/5= no remainder to all.
=> 1305/6= .50, 4665/6= .50 and 6905/6= .833(remainder is diferent)
=> 1305/8= .125 so, remainder is less.
Whereas we are finding HCF so less remainder is not HCF.

The HCF of any numbers would necessarily have to be a factor of the difference between any pair of numbers.
Here it is asked that find the number which when divides 4665, 6905 and 1305 give the same remainder.
So, to find this, we can find the HCF of the difference between these three numbers.
This number will be the greatest number which when divides 4665, 6905 and 305 gives the same remainder.

N = HCF of (4665-1305),(6905-4665) and (6905-1305).
= HCF of 3360,2240 and 5600.
= 2*2*2*2*2*5*7
= 1120.
Sum of digits in N = (1+1+2+0) = 4.
= HCF of 3360,2240 and 5600.
= 2*2*2*2*2*5*7
= 1120.
Sum of digits in N = (1+1+2+0) = 4.

I can't understand why are we taking the numbers (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305)?
Can anyone please explain to me this in brief?
