5 9 5 8 , 5 8 1 4 , 5 4 3 0 leave same remainder when x divides them,
Therefore 5 9 5 8 − 5 8 1 4 = 1 4 4 is divisible by x . 5 8 1 4 − 5 4 3 0 = 3 8 4 is divisible by x . 5 9 5 8 − 5 4 3 0 = 5 2 8 is divisible by x .
Therefore the largest possible value of x which will divide the given numbers is the H . C . F of 1 4 4 , 3 8 4 , 5 2 8 = 4 8 .
