Yes because 1 is a factor of any Prime number. In fact, 1 is always the gcd (same as gcf) of any two distinct prime numbers.

The GCF is 1. The LCM is p x q x r.


If two numbers have no common prime factors the GCF is 1?

Yes the GCF is 1, and the numbers are called relatively prime.One way to see this is to use the method of writing number in the prime factored form.Then to find the GCF we look at the primes that two numbers in factored form have in common. We take the common primes which will be the ones with the smallest exponent.For example, if one number contains a 22 and another a 25 the 22 is the common prime raise to the lower power. If we took the one raised to the higher power, it would not be common to both numbersNow if both prime factorizations have no common factors then we could look at any and all primes p, as p0 which equals 1. Or we could simply say the only common factor is 1 since none of the primes are common.Either way, 1 is the GCF and the numbers, weather prime or composite, are called relatively prime. We often use this notation for the GCF of 2 numbers a and b, (a,b) and in this case(a,b)=1. Don't confuse this with ordered pairs.
