1. Step-by-step explanation:

   Let one positive integer be x

   other integer = x-16

   Quotient when x is divided by x-16 = 5

   According to the question

   [tex] \frac{x}{x – 16} = 5 \\ x = 5(x – 16) \\ x = 5x – 80 \\ 5x – x = 80 \\ 4x = 80 \\ x = \frac{80}{4} \\ x = 20[/tex]

   The first no. = x = 20

   other integer = x-16 = 20–16 = 4

   Hope it will help you...
