Problem: when 242 is divided by a certain divisor the remainder obtained is 12 . when 698 is divided by the same divisor the remainder obtained is 16 . however , when the sum of the two numbers 242 and 698 is divided by the divisor , the remainder obtained is 10 . what is the value of the divisor ?
Rationale: "let that divisor be x since remainder is 12 or 16 it means divisor is greater than 16 . now 242 - 12 = 230 = kx ( k is an integer and 234 is divisble by x ) similarly 698 - 16 = 682 = lx ( l is an integer and 689 is divisible by x ) adding both 698 and 242 = ( 230 + 682 ) + 12 + 16 = x ( k + l ) + 28 when we divide this number by x then remainder will be equal to remainder of ( 28 divided by x ) = 10 hence x = 28 - 10 = 18 hence b"
