Question
Find the $HCF$ of:Two consecutive numbers.
✓
Answer
$4$ and $5$ are two consecutive numbers.
Now, $HCF$ of $4$ and $5$ is as follows:
$4 = 2 \times 2 \times 1 = 2^2\times 1$
$5 = 5 \times 1$
$\therefore HCF = 1$
Now, $HCF$ of $4$ and $5$ is as follows:
$4 = 2 \times 2 \times 1 = 2^2\times 1$
$5 = 5 \times 1$
$\therefore HCF = 1$
