If 89 and 125 is divided by a positive integer X, then the remainders are 4 and 6 respectively. Correct Answer 17

Since A is an integer which divides 89 & 125 not perfectly. Remainders are 4 & 6 rspectively. now we need to find HCF of the resultant number. Resultant number is calculated as: 89–4 = 85 125–6 = 119 Now 85 & 119 have 17 as HCF. 17 is the answer. ans: 17
