What is co-prime number ? |
|
Answer» In number theory, TWO integers a and B are coprime, relatively prime or mutually prime if the only positive integer that is a divisor of both of them is 1. CONSEQUENTLY, any prime number that divides ONE of a or b does not divide the other. This is equivalent to their greatest common divisor being The numerator and denominator of a reduced fraction are coprime. The numbers 14 and 25 are coprime, since 1 is their only common divisor. On the other hand, 14 and 21 are not coprime, because they are both divisible by 7. |
