The greatest number that will divide 445, 572, and 699, vacating remainders 4, 5, and 6 respectively is 63.
It is given that the greatest number that will divide 445, 572, and 699 will leave remainders 4, 5, 6 respectively.
Thus we have,
4454=441 5725=567 6996=693 Find the HCF of 441, 567, and 693:
441=3×3×7×7 567=3×3×3×3×7 693=3×3×7×11 HCF=3×3×7=63 Thus the greatest number that divides 445, 572, and 696, vacating the remainder of 4, 5, and 6 is 63.
