Find the gretest number which devded by 181 and 236 leave a remainder of 5 in each case

The greatest number is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dividends: 181 and 236

Remainder: 5

Required

Determine a divisor that satisfies the above condition

Let the required divisor be represented with x.

Since a remainder of 5 is expected, then x can divide (181 - 5) and (236 - 5) without remainders.

So, we have:

Next, we calculate the GCF of 176 and 231

The greatest common factor, GCT is:

Hence, the required divisor is 11

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
