Q: The L.C.M. of any two consecutive positive integers x and x + 1 is?
  • A. 1
  • B. (x) (x + 1)
  • C. x
  • D. x + 1
Correct Answer: Option B - LCM of x and (x+1) = The LCM of any two consective positive integers is equal to the product of those numbers. ∴ LCM of x and (x + 1) = x (x + 1)
B. LCM of x and (x+1) = The LCM of any two consective positive integers is equal to the product of those numbers. ∴ LCM of x and (x + 1) = x (x + 1)

Explanations:

LCM of x and (x+1) = The LCM of any two consective positive integers is equal to the product of those numbers. ∴ LCM of x and (x + 1) = x (x + 1)
