Explanation:
We have to find Greatest Factor
In this case , we have to find HCF with remainder
Step 1: Find the Differences of numbers
Step 2: Get the HCF ( that differences)
We have here 3962, 4085 and 4167
So differences are
4167 - 4085 = 82
4167 - 3962 = 205,
4085 - 3962 = 123.
Now
HCF (82, 123 and 205)
As
82 = 2 x 41
123 = 3 x 41
205 = 5 x 41
HCF = 41.
And 41 is the required number.(source:internet)

what should be the approach to solve this question? other than dividing each individually.
