aNSWER :
LCM will be product of p and p+1 = p(p+1)
HCF will be 1.
explanation :
let the p = 2 , therefore p+1 = 2+1 = 3
Now , lcm of 2 and 3 = 2*3 =p*(p+1) (because p=2 and p+1 =3)
HCF of 2 and 3 is 1 .
HCF is the highest common factor hence 2 and 3 have 1 as the highest common factor .hence 1 is the hcf of 2 and 3.
Hope this helps you !!
