Explanation

To find the greatest number that yields the same remainder when dividing 697, 909, and 1227, we calculate the differences between the numbers: 909 - 697 = 212, 1227 - 909 = 318, and 1227 - 697 = 530. The largest number dividing all these differences exactly is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 212, 318, and 530, which is 106.
