Detailed Solution

H.C.F. is the greatest number that divides each of the two or more numbers.
Let’s take an example,
H.C.F. of 2 and 3.
Prime factors of 2 and 3,
2=1×2
3=1×3
H.C.F. = 1.
The HCF of two consecutive numbers is 1 as there is no common factor other than 1 for the two consecutive numbers.
Therefore, the HCF of two consecutive numbers is always one.
Hence, option 3 is correct.
