Question

if p is prime then find the H.C.F and L.C.M of p and (p + 1).​

Answer 1

Answer:

HCF is 1

LCM is p(p+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

let us take any prime number ,

let p=2

then p+1=3

HCF means highest common factor

here factors of 2 - 1,2

3- 1,3

so common factor is 1

therefore HCF is 1

LCM means least common multiple

2*3=6 which is equal to p(p+1)

therefore LCM is p(p+1)
