What is the HCF of n and n + 1 where n is a natural number?
Given:
Two consecutive natural numbers: n and n + 1.
Concept Used:
The HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two consecutive integers is always 1, as they have no common divisors other than 1.
Solution:
Since n and n + 1 are consecutive, they are co-prime.
So, their HCF is 1.
