THanks for your help with the last question, but now I have anew one. Can 2 consecutive whole numbers be prime factors. THanks to all who answer.

Yes, but there is only one case, namely 2 and 3, assuming "prime factors" in the question meant "prime numbers".
A prime factor has to be a factor of some other number.
