let the greatest number be a and remainder be x. And let the whole number result of the division be b, c and d. So we have

ab + x = 2447............(1)

ac + x = 3118...............(2)

ad + x = 6168.............(3)

Subtracting (2) - (1) gives:-

ac - ab = 671

a(c - b) =671

Now 671 = 61 * 11 so 61 could be the value of a

Checking:- 2447 / 61 = 40 remainder 7 , 3118 / 61 = 51 remainder 7

and 6168 / 61 = 101 remainder 7

Answer 61
