Find the largest number that will divide 148 and 246, leaving remainders of 4 and 6, respectively.

To find the largest number that leaves specific remainders, we first subtract the remainders from the respective numbers, giving 148 minus 4 equals 144 and 246 minus 6 equals 240. The required number is the highest common factor of 144 and 240. Since the HCF of 144 and 240 is 48, the largest number that satisfies the condition is 48.
