QUESTION :- What are co-prime numbers? Give some examples.
ANSWER :-
☞ Two numbers or integers are co-prime if their common factor is only 1.
☞ There should be a minimum of two numbers to form a set of coprime numbers.
☞ Such numbers have only 1 as their highest common factor.
➩EXAMPLES
☞ When a co - prime number
→ 5 and 9
5 factors = 1 and 5
9 factors = 1, 3 and 9
Both have only 1 as a greatest common factor. Hence Both are co-prime numbers.
→ 4 and 7
4 factors = 1, 2 and 4
7 factors = 1 and 7
Both have only 1 as a greatest common factor. Hence Both are co-prime numbers.
☞ When not a co - prime number
→ 2 and 8
2 factors = 1 and 2
8 factors = 1, 2, 4 and 8
Both have 1 and 2 as greatest common factor. Hence Both are not co-prime numbers.
