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