The difference between two numbers is 36. The quotient when one number is divided by other is 4. Find the two numbers.

Let the number be x. It is given that the difference between the numbers is 36. So, the other number is x−36. According to the question, the quotient when one number is divided by the other is 4. By cross multiplying, we get : ⇒ x = 4(x \- 36) ⇒ x = 4x \- 144 ⇒ 4x \- x = 144 ⇒ 3x = 144 ⇒ x = ⇒ x = 48 Other number be (x \- 36) = (48 \- 36) = 12 Hence, the two numbers are 48 and 12.
