Answer 2

Given: p and q are two consecutive even natural number and one is 72.

To find: We have to find HCF between p and q.

Solution:

Given that p is 72.

We know that p and q are two consecutive even natural number.

So, q will be the next even number of 72.

Thus it is 74.

To determine HCF between p and q we have to find out the highest common multiple between the two numbers.

So, HCF will be-

$72 = 2 \times 36 \\ 74 = 2 \times 37$

Thus HCF is 2.

HCF of p and q is 2.
