    947

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the bigger number be y and the smaller number be x

    The difference between the two numbers is written as:

    y - x

    But from the question we were told that the difference between the two numbers is 685. Therefore,

    y - x = 685

    Also, from the question, we were told that the smaller number (x) is 262. Therefore,

    y - x = 685 becomes:

    y - 262 = 685

    Collect like terms

    y = 685 + 262

    y = 947

    Therefore, the other number is 947

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the two numbers be x and y

    x - y = 685

    Let the smaller number be y

    x - 262 = 685

    x = 685 + 262

    Therefore x = 947
