The greatest number that will divide 172,205 and 304 leaving the same remainder in each case is HCF ((205-172), (304-205), (304-172)) = HCF of 33, 99, and 132 33=31x11 99=3 x 3 x 11 132=3 x 2 x 2 x11 Required number =3 x 11=33
To solve this question quickly, first remove decimal by multiplying each term with 100,Then terms become 210, 105, 63Then HCF of above terms is 21, So Answer is 0.21
