As per the Question :

25=
x
25
=
Remainder =8
=
8

26=
x
26
=
Remainder =0
=
0

So,

=25+8
x
=
25
a
+
8

=26+0
x
=
26
b
+
0

Since, there are two equations and three variables :

=
a
=
b
or the divisors will have to be equal to make this question valid

Therefore,

=25+8−()
x
=
25
a
+
8

(
i
)

=26+0−()
x
=
26
a
+
0

(
i
i
)

Subtracting (),()
(
i
)
,
(
i
i
)

−=25−26+8−0
x

x
=
25
a

26
a
+
8

0

=0=−+8
=
0
=

a
+
8

=−=−8
=

a
=

8
or =8
a
=
8

Therefore,

=25×8+8
x
=
25
×
8
+
8

=208
x
=
208

=26×8+0
x
=
26
×
8
+
0

=208
x
=
208

Good Luck, Champ!
