To find the greatest common factor of 18 & 49
Answer to Problem 11MCQ
Greatest Common Factor is 1. Hence relatively prime.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Numbers 18 & 49
Formula Used: Factorization
Calculation:
Here, break both the numbers into its factors respectively.
So, 18 may be written as
And 49 may be written as
As can be seen that there is nothing common in both the numbers.Hence , the greatest common factor is 1.
When the greatest common factor of two numbers is 1- they are said to be relatively prime. Hence 12 & 51 are relatively prime numbers.
Conclusion-
Greatest Common Factor is 1. Hence relatively prime.
