Question

the h.c.f of two consecutive number explain step by step​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the two consecutive numbers be 8 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

As, there are two ways to find hcf.

• long division method
• prime factorisation

so here we will use long division method

$\frac{9}{8}$

remainder = 1

as we will dived the divisor by remainder according to long division method. here divisor is 8.

$\frac{8}{1}$

so therefore hcf = 1.

FACT : THE HCF OF TWO CONSECUTIVE NUMBER IS ALWAYS 1.
