11/14/2023 0 Comments A list of prime numbers from 1 to 100![]() ![]() To check whether the pair are co-prime to each other, we can list their factors and find their Greatest Common Factor or GCF. In other words, these are numbers that have no common or same factors other than 1. DefinitionĬo-prime numbers (also known as Relatively Prime Numbers) are a pair of numbers that have the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) as 1. This gives us now the definition of Co-prime numbers. But now, we are going to talk about pairs of numbers that must have a “common primary” factor of 1. Using the definition of Prime Numbers, we notice that each number must have 1 as its “primary” factor. For this reason, we can expect that Co-prime numbers are pairs of positive numbers with unique properties, properties that we will see later. On the other hand, negative 2 is not a prime number, because it can also have -1 and 2 as factors. Now, let us list the factors of each number.īy looking at the factor tree and the listed form of the factors above, we can easily conclude that positive 2 is a prime number because it has only two factors, which are 1 and itself. ![]() Let’s take a look at the illustration below to see the difference. ![]() And yes, we do not consider the negative integers because they have more than two factors. This means if a number has more than two factors, it is not prime but rather a composite number. Before we dive into the actual definition of Co-prime Numbers, let’s have a recap first of what a Prime Number is.Ī prime number is a positive integer or number that has factors of 1 and the number itself. ![]()
