Question

The greatest number which divides 244 and 2052 such that it leaves remainder 4 in each case, is
1. 12
2. 16
3. 30720
4. 15360

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 16

Calculation:

Remainder = 4

So,

244 - 4 = 240

2052 - 4 = 2048

HCF of 240 and 2048 = 16

⇒ The greatest number = 16 

∴ The greatest number is 16 which divides 244 and 2052 which leaves the remainder 4 in each case.

The correct option is 2 i.e. 16
