Two numbers are relatively prime if the only factor they have in common is 1.

Example:

12 and 17 are relatively prime because they have only 1 as a common factor.

12 and 21 are not relatively prime because they have 1 and 3 as common factors.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
