Two number are said to be "relatively prime" if they have no common factors - of course, other than the trivial factor 1. Even a Prime number is not "relatively prime" to itself, since the prime number itself is the common factor. For example, the common factor of 7 and 7 is 7. Thus, the only situation I can think of where a number has no common factor with itself is that the number is 1.

A number cannot be relatively prime number by itself. It can only be relatively prime in the context of (relativeto) another number. That requires the two numbers not to have any prime factors in common.

How can you choose a number so that it will be relatively prime to any other number?

To choose a number that is relatively prime to any other number, you need to select a number that has no common factors (other than 1) with those other numbers. One way to ensure this is to choose a prime number. Prime numbers only have two factors: 1 and itself, making them relatively prime to any other number.


Is 23 relatively prime?

23 is relatively prime to all integers that aren't multiples of 23.


What numbers are relatively prime to 5?

Since 5 is a prime number, then any number, which is not a multiple of 5, is relatively prime with the number 5. You can determine if a number is a multiple of 5, by looking at the ones place digit. If it is a 0 or 5, and the number itself is not zero, then the number is a multiple of 5.


How do you know 25 and 36 are relatively prime?

25 and 36 are relatively prime because they both share 1 as a factor, but no other factor. As their only common factor is 1, they are relatively prime. Neither is a prime number itself, but it is about the common factors, so in relation to each other, they are relatively prime.


Is 62 a relatively prime number?

62 is not a prime number and you cannot get a relitavely prime number it either is a prime number or it isnt a prime number! The definition of a prime number is a number that can only be divided b itself and one. No other number 62 can be divided by 2 as well as itself and 1 so NO IT IS NOT A PRIME NUMBER even numbers tend not to be prime numbers because they can be divided by two the only even number that is prime is 2 because it can only be divided by itself and 1 I hope this helped!
