The sum of natural number and its reciprocal is `65/8` Find the number 

Advertisements

उत्तर

Let the natural number be x.
According to the given condition,   

`x+1/x=65/8` 

⇒`(x^2+1)/x=65/8` 

⇒`8x^2+8=65x` 

⇒`8x^2-65x+8=0` 

⇒`8x^2-64x-x+8=0` 

⇒`8x(x-8)-1(x-8)=0` 

⇒`(x-8)(8x-1)=0` 

⇒`x-8=0  or  8x-1=0` 

⇒`x=8  or  x=1/8` 

∴x=8                            (x is a natural number) 

Hence, the required number is 8.
