Question

P and Q are two consecutive numbers and P < Q.
In this context, the HCF of (P, Q) is

Answer 1

If P & Q are consecutive numbers then their HCF will be = P*Q

Answer 2

Given : P and Q are two consecutive numbers and P < Q.

To find : HCF of (P, Q)

Explanation:

P and Q are the two  consecutive numbers and P < Q.

so

P can be written as

P = Q-1

then

The only common factor of P and Q is 1

i.e P and Q are the c prime numbers

thus

The HCF of two co prime numbers is 1

hence , HCF (P,Q) = 1
