a/19 has a remainder of 4. b/19 has a remainder of 2. c/19 has a remainder of 18. 

2a/19 then must have a remainder of 8. (4 + 4 = 8) 

The remainder of \(2a + b - c\) when divided by 19 is just \(8 + 2 - 18 = -8\). We can get the real remainder by adding -8 to 19, which equals 11. the remainder is \(\boxed{11}\).

Since \(m = 6 (mod 9)\)  \(n = 0 (mod 9)\) and , we know that \(m\) is a multiple of 3 and \(n\) is a multiple of 9. \(m\) can also sometimes be a multiple of 6. (For example, m = 24, 24 (mod 9) = 6). To make sure that the largest integer that \(mn\) is necessarily divisible by is always true, we must assume that m is a multiple of 6. The largest integer that \(mn\) is necessarily divisible by is \(3\cdot3\cdot3 = \boxed{27}\).

Here's another way of looking at 1).

1) 

We have positive integers a, b and c such that a>b>c.

When a, b and c are divided by 19, the remainders are 4, 2 and 18 respectively.

When the number 2a+b-c is divided by 19, what is the remainder?

\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline a & \equiv & 4\pmod{19} \quad & | \quad \cdot 2 \\ \mathbf{2a} & \mathbf{\equiv} & \mathbf{8\pmod{19}} \\\\ \mathbf{b} & \mathbf{\equiv} & \mathbf{2\pmod{19}} \\\\ c & \equiv & 18\pmod{19} \\ c & \equiv & 18-19\pmod{19} \\ \mathbf{c} & \mathbf{\equiv} & \mathbf{-1\pmod{19} } \\ \\ \hline \\ 2a+b-c & \equiv & 8+2-(-1) \pmod{19} \\ \mathbf{2a+b-c} & \mathbf{\equiv} & \mathbf{{\color{red}11} \pmod{19}} \\ \hline \end{array}\)

The remainder is 11

2)
Given that m and n are positive integers such that m=6 (mod 9) and n=0 (mod 9),
what is the largest integer that mn is necessarily divisible by?

\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline m & \equiv & 6\pmod{9} \\ \text{or} \\ m &=& 6 + z\cdot 9 ,\quad z \in \mathbb{Z} \\\\ n & \equiv & 0\pmod{9} \\ \text{or} \\ n &=& 0 + z_2 \cdot 9, \quad z_2 \in \mathbb{Z} \\\\ \hline \\ mn &=& (6 + z\cdot 9)\cdot z_2 \cdot 9 \\ mn &=& 3\cdot(2 + z\cdot 3)\cdot z_2 \cdot 9 \\ \mathbf{mn} &\mathbf{=}& \mathbf{{\color{red}27}\cdot(2 + 3z)\cdot z_2} \\ \hline \end{array}\)

The largest integer is 27
