Prove that two consecutive integers don\'t have common factors greater than 1. That is, prove that

Solution

We need to prove:

                    two consecutive integers don, have common factors greater then one.

Let d=gcd(a,a+1)>1

   if supose take two consecutive numbers 100,101

gcd(100,101)=1

   d=1

if we take for k:

   d=gcd(k,k+1)=1 is true

if we take for n:

   d=gcd(n,n+1)=1 is true

by mathametical induction

                               for n+1: d= gcd(n+1,n+2)=1

       d always same so it\'s proved.
