Two numbers that are 2 apart cannot both be multiples of 3 or greater, as there would not be enough space to add the amount on to the lower number. Thus the greatest possible common factor would be 2. Both of the numbers are even, and so can divide by two. Thus we know the HCF of two consecutive even numbers must be 2.

The HCF of two consecutive even numbers is?
The GCF is 2.
Can the HCF of two numbers be a factor of their LCM?
The HCF is always a factor of the LCM of two numbers. The HCF is a factor of both the numbers which are factors of their LCM. Thus the HCF is also a factor of the LCM of the two numbers.
What is HCF of two consecutive even numbers?
2 actually it also can be 4
Can two numbe215r have 20 as their HCF and 215 as their LCM?
No, 2 and 10 are factors of 20. The LCM of 2 and 10 is 10.

Is the HCF of two numbers ever 1?
The HCF is the largest number that both numbers can be divided by. If the HCF is 1, that would suggest that the two numbers share no prime factors. Thus, any two numbers which are coprime will have an HCF of 1. Consecutive numbers are good examples here - 15 and 16, 27 and 28, 104 and 105, all have an HCF of 1.
What is the hcf of 375?
You need at least two numbers to find an HCF.
What is the HCF of 119753204389?
Two or more numbers are needed to find the HCF
What is the hcf for 24?
You need at least two numbers to find an HCF.
What is the Hcf of 120 400?
The HCF of the given two numbers is 40
What is the HCF for 98168 and 182?
The HCF of the given two numbers is 14
What numbers have an HCF of 1?
An HCF is the product of any common prime factors of two numbers. If two numbers have no common prime factors, then the HCF will be 1. For example, 10 and 21. The prime factors are 2x5 and 3x7. There is nothing in common, and so the HCF of 10 and 21 is 1. Two consecutive numbers will always have the HCF of 1.
