The maximum difference is 8, between 89 and 97.
The range
The GCF of two consecutive numbers is always 1. The GCF of any set of numbers can't be greater than the smallest of the differences between the numbers.
Any prime numbers greater than 2 will be odd numbers. The difference between two odd numbers will be an even number. So, the difference between two prime (and odd) numbers could be 2, 4, or 6, of the numbers given. The difference could not be 3, 5, or 7.
Defining "consecutive" as "following continuously in unbroken or logical sequence," it is possible to have many different types of consecutive things: consecutive days, months, odd numbers, even numbers, etc. The list you have is consecutive, they are consecutive multiples of ten.
Answer: 2 One way to approach this is to look at the difference between 84 and 86, which is 2. The greatest common factor of two numbers cannot be larger than the difference between the two numbers and must be a factor of the difference. Since both 84 and 86 are divisible by 2, the greatest common factor is 2.
Two.
The difference is 2. (23 - 21 = 2).If we are talking about two odd numbers that come right after the number 20 then we mean the two consecutive odd numbers after 20.The difference between any consecutive odd numbers (or between any consecutive even numbers) is always 2.
2
No. The GCF of any two numbers is also a factor of their difference. The difference between consecutive numbers is 1 so their GCF must also be a factor of 1. The only factor of 1 is 1 - and hence the result.
The range is the difference between the greatest and least numbers.
The difference between the greatest and least numbers in a set of data is called the range.

It is the range.
Arithmetic Sequence
Consecutive numbers are whole numbers whose difference is 1.
The greatest common factor of 34 and 35 is 1. The GCF of any two consecutive integers is always 1. The GCF of a pair can't be any larger than the difference between the two numbers.
