Is all prime numbers are relatively prime?
Any set of prime numbers has a GCF of 1, which is the technical definition of being relatively prime but it's a bit redundant. The members of that set are already prime.
Why does prime numbers occur more often as numbers become large?
Actually they do not. The Prime Number Thoerem states that, for large numbers, the probability that a randomly number selected number is a prime is 1/ln(N), its natural logarithm. So, around a million, around 1 in 14 numbers is prime, around a billion it falls to 1 in 21 and around a trillion to 1 in 28 (which, since the proportionality is logarithmic, is half as often as around a million).
Is the number eleven prime?
Yes. Examples of prime numbers are: 3, 5, 7, 11, 13. Prime Numbers are defined as being divisible only by themselves and 1.
