since the remainders are equal,
2312-1417 = 895
2312-1059 = 1253
1417-1059 = 358
are all multiples of y.
The GCF of those is 179.
Divide any of the given numbers by 179 and the remainder is 164.
So, y-x = 179-164 = 15
2312-1417 = 895
2312-1059 = 1253
1417-1059 = 358
are all multiples of y.
The GCF of those is 179.
Divide any of the given numbers by 179 and the remainder is 164.
So, y-x = 179-164 = 15
