Question

HCF of two consecutive prime number is:

Answer 1

Answer:

HCF (Any Prime, Any Composit ) is 1 . So they are coprime. So naturally HCF of 2 Primes is 1.

Answer 2

Highest Common Factor (HCF):

• The greatest number among all the common factors of two or more numbers is called the HCF (Highest Common Factor).
• Because 2 is the only even prime number, and each subsequent pair comprises one even and one odd number, 2 and 3 are the only successive prime numbers.

• As a result, they are coprime.
• As a result, the HCF of two primes is 1.
