Numbers with their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) as 1 are called to be as relatively prime to each other.

Relatively prime numbers are two or more numbers that can be compared with each other. A single number cannot be relatively prime.
When 2 numbers have their GCF = 1, it means that the numbers are relatively prime to each other, which doesn't necessarily mean that they are prime on their own. There are 2 cases where relative prime can be guarenteed: All prime numbers are guarenteed to be relatively prime to all other prime numbers. Any prime number is guarenteed to be relatively prime to any composite number smaller than the prime number. If neither of the above 2 conditions are met, manual calculations must be done to find any existing GCF.
Composite numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have more than two factors. Relatively prime numbers are numbers that have no common factors other than 1. Therefore, to find 3-digit composite numbers that are relatively prime, we need to look for numbers that are composite and have no common factors. An example of such a pair of 3-digit composite numbers that are relatively prime would be 119 and 143.
No, they are not. Each is divisible by 3.
59 and 97, being both prime, are relatively prime to each other.
