Math Problem Statement

Numbers 12284 and 7656 when divided by a certain 3 digit number leaves the same remainder .Find the three digit number

Solution

To find the three-digit number nn that, when dividing 1228412284 and 76567656, leaves the same remainder, we need to consider the following:

If 1228412284 divided by nn leaves a remainder rr, and 76567656 divided by nn leaves the same remainder rr, then:

12284=kn+r12284 = kn + r 7656=mn+r7656 = mn + r

where kk and mm are the quotients when 1228412284 and 76567656 are divided by nn, respectively.

By subtracting the second equation from the first, we eliminate rr:

122847656=kn+r(mn+r)12284 - 7656 = kn + r - (mn + r)

Simplifying this, we get:

122847656=(km)n12284 - 7656 = (k - m)n

4628=(km)n4628 = (k - m)n

This means that nn must be a divisor of 46284628. Now, let's find the three-digit divisors of 46284628.It appears that there are no three-digit divisors of 46284628. This suggests that no three-digit number nn exists such that when dividing 1228412284 and 76567656, the same remainder is left.
