Answer to Problem 9MCQ
Greatest Common Factor is 1. Hence relatively prime.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Numbers 9 & 16
Formula Used: Factorization
Calculation:
Here, break both the numbers into its factors respectively.
So, 9 may be written as
And 16 may be written as
As can be seen that there is nothing common in all 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 9 & 16 are relatively prime numbers.
Conclusion-
Greatest Common Factor is 1. Hence relatively prime.
