Question

The difference between two positive integers is $36$. The quotient when one integer is divided by other is $4$. Find the integers.

Answer 1

Let number be $n$ , $n>0$

Difference between possitive integers $=36$

Another number be $n-36$

Quotient when one is divided by another $=4$

$\frac{n}{n-36}=4$

$n=4n-144$

$3n=144$

$n=48$

$\therefore 48,12$ are the two positive integers.
