To solve this question, we need to find the largest positive integer n such that there is a unique integer k for which the equation 8/15 = (k - n)/n holds.
Let's simplify the equation:
8/15 = (k - n)/n
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15n to eliminate the denominators:
8n = 15(k - n)
Expand the equation:
8n = 15k - 15n
Rearrange the terms:
23n = 15k
Now, we need to find the largest positive integer n that satisfies this equation. We can start by finding the smallest positive integer k that satisfies this equation.
Let's try n = 1:
23(1) = 15k
23 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 1 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 2:
23(2) = 15k
46 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 2 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 3:
23(3) = 15k
69 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 3 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 4:
23(4) = 15k
92 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 4 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 5:
23(5) = 15k
115 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 5 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 6:
23(6) = 15k
138 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 6 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 7:
23(7) = 15k
161 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 7 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 8:
23(8) = 15k
184 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 8 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 9:
23(9) = 15k
207 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 9 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 10:
23(10) = 15k
230 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n = 10 is not the largest positive integer that satisfies the equation.
Let's try n = 11:
23(11) = 15k
253 = 15k
This equation does not have a unique integer solution for k. So, n =
