Question

what is the HCF of any two consecutive numbers
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The HCF o two consecutive numbers is always one. The reason behind this is that the two consecutive numbers do not have any common factor other than 1. Hence 1 becomes the highest common factor between two consecutive numbers.

Answer 2

→ Let us take two consecutive numbers as 5 and 6.

→ The two numbers have 1 as a common factor and nothing else.

→ Hence 1 is the HCF.

→ This proves that the HCF of any two consecutive numbers is always a one.
