Question

what is the HCF of m and m+1,wherein is a natural number​

Answer 1

Answer:

the HCF will be one.

if we have,

two natural numbers , m and m+1

it means ,they are consecutive.

in which , one of them would be even natural number and another would be odd natural number.

they will have no common factor other than one.

thus, whenever we have two natural numbers namely m and m+1 , then there

HCF will be one.

example: if m= 2, then m+1= 3

HCF(2,3)=1

if m=3, then m+1=4

HCF(3,4)=1

if m=100, then m+1=101

HCF(100,101)=1

thank you.

I hope it would help you.
