Answer:
HCF of any two consecutive natural numbers is 1. because the difference between two consecutive numbers is one & if the HCF is greater than one the the two consecutive numbers has to be divisible by that number which is not possible.
The HCF of two consecutive even numbers is 2.
Highest common factor HCF of two consecutive odd numbers is always one 1. Between their factors 1 is common so their highest common factor HCF is 1. Hence their HCF is also 1.
Highest Common Factor (HCF): The largest or greatest factor common to any two or more given natural numbers is termed as HCF of given numbers. Also known as GCD (Greatest Common Divisor). For example, HCF of 4, 6 and 8 is 2. Here, the highest common factor of 4, 6 and 8 is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
consecutive natural no.'s are 2,3 or 10,11etc..
prime numbers are 2,3,5,7 etc ..
