Question

What is the HCF of two consecutive even number? Verify with an example.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two consecutive numbers be 10 and 12

10 = 2 × 5

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

common factor of 10 and 12 is 2

HCF of 10 and 12 is 2.

hence, the HCF of two consecutive even numbers is 2.
