    52 and 65

    Step-by-step explanation:

    dividend - divisor*quotient = remainder

    We want to find the largest number which divides 60 leaving remainders 8. The largest divisor is obtained when the quotient is 1. Replacing into the previous equation:

    60 - divisor*1 = 8

    60 - 8 = divisor

    52 = divisor

    In the second case, the dividend is 75, the quotient is 1 again, and the remainder is 10, then:

    75 - divisor*1 = 10

    75 - 10 = divisor

    65 = divisor
