    Answer:5
    3 and 5 are only numbers that divide 32,162,237 and leave the same remainder. thus 5>3
    Correct me if wrong

    Though i dont know the answeres, but i think neither 3 nor 5 can be the answeres to this question. This is so because when 32,162,237 is divided by 3 or 5, we get 2 as remainder.
    But the question says that the remainder should be same as the divisor....

    If wrong, please correct me..

    The method which i am following is as:

    If I have to test a number 'x' for the solution then, (32,162,237-x)mod x=0.

    and why are you sorry blunderboy....??

    @deepika is it compulsory that remainder should always be 0(according to ur method), as we can see remainder in the 1st example is non zero and can be anything

    @Deepika
    I said sorry because i gave wrong numbers first time.
    Actually numbers are 62,132,237.

    I am not getting your solution beacuse its very difficult to find the value of x.
    As far as i think..

    No Guys,
    Its answer is 35.

    62 % 35 =27 (35x1=35)

    132%35=27 (35x3=105)

    237 % 35=27 (35x6=210)

    Now think of its solution.
