If a number is divisible by 2 coprime numbers then it is divisible by their product also.
Answers
If a number is divisible by 2 coprime numbers then it is divisible by their product also.
The above statement is completely true.
Why ? Let's see how !
Step by step explanation :
First of all, What are Co - prime numbers ?
If the two integers, a and b has common factor as only 1 , then they are said to be Co prime numbers.
Let's prove the statement by giving some examples.
1] We know that,
80 is divisible by 4 and 5
But, now , are 4 and 5 co primes?
Let's see :
Factors of 4 => 1, 2 , 4
Factors of 5 => 1, 5
Here, Since the common factor is 1, we can say that 4 and 5 are co primes.
Now,
4 × 5 = 20
80 is also divisible by product of 4 & 5 i.e 20.
[ 80 ÷ 20 = 4 ]

Let's see on more example.
2] 12 is divisible by 2 and 3
Factors of 2 => 1, 2
Factors of 3 => 1, 3
Common factor => 1
.•. 2 and 3 are co primes.
Now,
2 × 3 = 6
12 is also divisible by the product of 2 and 3 i. e 6
[ 12 ÷ 6 = 2 ]
Hence, Proved.
If a number is divisible by 2 coprime numbers then it is divisible by their product also.
The numbers which have no other common factor other than 1 are called co-primes.
Example- The number 50 is divisible by 5 and 2
Product of 5 and 2 = 10
