a, \(252=2^2.3.31\)
\(858=2.3.11.13\)
\(156=2^2.3.13\)
\(ƯCLN\left(252,858,156\right)=2.3=6\)
b, Vì : 400 chia cho x thì dư 40
\(\Rightarrow400-40⋮x\left(x>40\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow360⋮x\) (1)
Vì : 450 chia cho x thì dư 18
\(\Rightarrow450-18⋮x\left(x>18\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow432⋮x\) (1)
Từ (1) và (2) \(\Rightarrow x\inƯC\left(360,432\right)\left(x>40\right)\)
\(360=2^3.3^2.5\)
\(432=2^4.3^2\)
\(ƯCLN\left(360,432\right)=2^3.3^2=72\)
\(\RightarrowƯC\left(360,432\right)=Ư\left(72\right)=\left\{1;2;3;4;6;8;9;12;18;24;36;72\right\}\)
Mà : \(x>40\Rightarrow x=72\)
Vậy x = 72
