In number theory, two integers a and b are said to be relatively prime, mutually prime, or coprime (also written co-prime) if the only positive integer (factor) that divides both of them is 1. Consequently, any prime number that divides one does not divide the other.For example, 2 and 3 are two prime numbers. Factors of 2 are 1, 2, and factors of 3 are 1, 3. The only common factor is 1 and hence is co-prime. Any two successive numbers/ integers are always co-prime: Take any consecutive numbers such as 2, 3, or 3, 4 or 5, 6, and so on; they have 1 as their HCF.Any set of numbers which do not have any other common factor other than 1 are called co-prime or relatively prime numbers. This shows that 5 and 6 have no common factor other than 1. Therefore, they are co-prime numbers.
