Question

if the HCF of 408 and 1032 is expressible in the form of 1032 into 2 + 408 into P then find the value of p​

Answer 1

below.

Explanation:

408 = 2*2*2*3*17

1032 = 2*2*2*3*43

So the HCF is 2*2*2*3 = 24

24 = 2/1032 + p/408

24 - 2/1032 = p/408

p = (24 - 2/1032) * 408

p = 9791.21 to nearest hundredth.
