These are the following methods , used to solve the statement problems of HCF :
1. In HCF, if some remainders are given, then firstly those remainders are subtracted from the numbers given and then their HCF is calculated.
2. Sometimes in HCF questions, the required remainder is given and when the remainder is not given, in those cases you will generally have three numbers given. For answering the question, you need to take the difference of the three pairs of numbers, now the HCF of these differences will become the answer.
3. Whenever the question talks about the greatest or maximum, then in most of these cases it will be a question of HCF. Secondly, whenever the question is related to classification or distribution into groups, then in all the cases it is HCF only.
Illustration 1 : Find the greatest number which when divides 259 and 465 leaves remainders 4 and 6 respectively.
Solution: Here, the numbers 259 and 465 leave the remainders 4 and 6 respectively. So, the required number will be obtained by finding the H.C.F. of 259 – 4 = 255 and 465 – 6 = 459.
Factors of 255 = 5 51 and Factors of 459 = 3 3 51.
The HCF of 255 and 459 is 51 which is the number.
Illustration 2 : Find the greatest number, which when divides 41, 71 and 91, leaves the same remainder in each case.
Solution: Take the difference between all the three pairs of numbers and their HCF will be the answer i.e. 91 – 41 = 50, 71 – 41 = 30 and 91 – 71 = 20.
Factors of 50 = 2 5 5 , Factors of 30 = 2 3 5 and factors of 20 = 2 2 5
The HCF of 50, 30 and 20 is 10.

It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
