The hcf or gcd of $a$ and $ b$ is $1$.
What is the hcf of the following term?
$dfrac{a^p - b^p}{a-b} $ and $a-b$, where $p $ is a prime number.
I study in grade 9. I can't solve this problem. Can anyone please help me?

What have you tried? As a good starting point, work some examples..try to get a sense of the answer that way and then try to prove your conjecture.

You want $p$ to be an odd prime: the ratio $(a^2 + b^2)(a-b)$ is usually not an integer.

@DonThousand True. I assumed the OP meant $frac {a^p-b^p}{a-b}$ but of course, that isn't what appears.
