To find the greatest common factor of 12 & 51
Answer to Problem 10MCQ
Greatest Common Factor is 3. Hence not relatively prime.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Numbers 12 & 51
Formula Used: Factorization
Calculation:
Here, break both the numbers into its factors respectively.
So, 12 may be written as
And 51 may be written as
As can be seen that 3 is common in both the numbers. Hence , the greatest common factor is 3.
When the greatest common factor of two numbers is 1- they are said to be relatively prime. Hence 12 & 51 are not relatively prime numbers.
Conclusion-
Greatest Common Factor is 3. Hence not relatively prime.
