There are two number A and B. A is a 2-digit number which is a multiple of 8. B is a 2-digit number which is a multiple of 24. What is the largest possible difference between the two numbers A and B?

I will assume these are only positive numbers

A = 16     B = 96      Difference = 80

 

If the numbers can be negative

A = -16     B = 96     Difference = 112
