The greatest number that can divide 286, 1001, and 2420 is X. What is the value of X/2?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 5.5.
The greatest number that can divide 286, 1001, and 2420 is X = H.C.F. of 286, 1001, and 2420
Prime factorization of
⇒ 286 = 2 × 13 × 11
⇒ 1001 = 7 × 13 × 11
⇒ 2420 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 11 × 11
H.C.F of 286, 1001, and 2420 = 11
Hence,
Required number = X/2 = 11/2 = 5.5
