Detailed Solution

The number divides 399, 434 and 537 leaving the remainder 8, 9 and 10.
So, that number will divide (399−8), (434−9) and (537−10) completely.
Now, the greatest number that will divide 391,425 and 527 completely, is the H.C.F. of these numbers.
391 = 17 × 23
425 =5 × 5 × 17
527 = 17 × 31
H.C.F. =17
