Question

Find the HCF of any two consecutive numbers?

Answer 1

HCF:

HCF full form is Highest Common Factor. The defines the greatest factor present in between given two or more numbers.

Explanation:

The HCF of two consecutive numbers is always one.

The reason behind this is that two consecutive numbers do not have any common factor other than $1$.

Example:

Let us take Two consecutive numbers $3$ and $4$. It can be written as

$$\begin{gathered} 3=3\times 1 \\ 4=4\times 1 \end{gathered}$$

The above $1$ is the common factor for both values.

Therefore, HCF$\left(3,4\right)=1$.
