GMAT Problem Solving (PS) | Re: If a and b are positive integers such that a/b = 2.86, which

Hi,

Sorry for bumping this old thread but i also faced the same question in one of my CATs.
My question is that we have been given a fraction and in the form of a/b..
we are asked to identify the divisor of 'a' , which in this case refers to 'b'
we have a = 2.86*b... Now, since a must be an integer, the only value that satisfies the equation is 50.

Is this question really ambiguous or is it just me not being able to differentiate between factors and divisors...

Thanks,
Gaurav
