how to plug in all the values?
myininaya (myininaya):
we are looking for the same remainder
we want to chose from the possible list of divisors A,B,C,D that will give us this when we divide 43,91,183
183/4=45+138+3/4 (3 is the remainder)
91/4=22+3/4 ( 3 is the remainder)
43/4=5+3/4 ( 3 is the remainder)
so we are done we do not have to go through B,C, and D since we have our answer
