A Prime number is a number with exactly 2 divisors: 1 and itself.
Because of this, the only common divisor of two distinct prime numbers is 1, thus 1 is the gcf.
So the correct answer would be:
Given two prime numbers, namely x and y, the gcf is
--- 1, if x and y are unequally
--- x, if x=y.

How do you find out how numbers are relatively prime?
Two numbers are relatively prime if their GCF is 1.
What is the GCF of 23 and 29 with work?
23 and 29 are both prime numbers. The GCF of any two prime numbers is 1.
How do you calculate co-primes?
Find their GCF. If the GCF of two numbers is 1, the numbers are co-prime.
How can you find the gcf of two numbers without knowing the factors?
If one of the numbers is a multiple of the other, the smaller number is the GCF. If the two numbers are prime numbers, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive even numbers, the GCF is 2.
What is the greatest common factor of two prime numbers?
The greatest common factor of two different prime numbers is 1. The two prime numbers have as their factors, 1 and themselves. That means that 1 is the only factor they have in common.The GCF is 1.
What two numbers have GCF that contains two prime numbers what is the answer?
The GCF of two prime numbers is 1.
What two numbers have 1 as there gcf?
Prime and relatively prime numbers all have a GCF of 1.
What two numbers have a gcf that contains two prime numbers?
23 and 46 have a GCF of 23.
How can you use the prime factorization of two numbers to determine whether they are relatively prime?
Use the prime factorizations to determine the GCF. If the GCF is 1, the numbers are relatively prime. If the two numbers have no prime factors in common, they are relatively prime.
If two numbers are prime what is the GCF?
1
What is the gcf of any two distinct prime numbers?
The GCF is 1.
How do you find out how numbers are relatively prime?
Two numbers are relatively prime if their GCF is 1.
What is the GCF of 23 and 29 with work?
23 and 29 are both prime numbers. The GCF of any two prime numbers is 1.
What is the GCF of 22 and 64 and are they relatively prime?
No two even numbers are relatively prime. The GCF is 2.
What mean relatively prime numbers?
Two numbers are considered relatively prime when their GCF is 1.
The gcf of two numbers is 1 what do you know about the numbers?
They are relatively prime.
What is the gcf of any two prime numbers and composite numbers?
One
