False. Consider 4 and 9. Neither are prime, but they have no common factors other than 1 and are therefore relatively prime. More generally, any two numbers p^n and q^n where p, q both prime and n<>p or q and n>1 are relatively prime. This is by no means all pairs of relatively prime numbers, but it's an easy way to find examples where neither of the pair is prime.

Any two prime numbers are relatively be prime?


Is it true or false that two composite numbers are relatively prime and explain?

Two composite numbers may or may not be relatively prime, depending on their factors. Relatively prime numbers are sets of two or more numbers having 1 as their greatest common factor (gcf). All even numbers have 2 as a common factor, so no even number is relatively prime with any other even number.

2 is prime


If some numbers are Integers and some numbers are prime then all numbers are prime Is this a true or false statement?

True or false the greatest common factor of two relatively prime numbers is always 1?

True. By definition for two numbers to be relatively prime they must not share any common factors. So their greatest (and only) common factor would be 1.


Is it true that prime numbers can never be even numbers?

No, 2 is prime.


Is it true that two different prime numbers are relatively prime?

Any two different prime numbers are relatively prime because relatively prime numbers are sets of two or more numbers having 1 as their greatest common factor.


The sum of prime numbers cannot be a prime true or false?

False - 2 + 11 = 13.


If some Numbers are Integers and some Integers are Prime then all Numbers are definitely Prime This statement is true or false?

The statement is false.


Is it true or false that only odd numbers are prime numbers And why?

False because 2 is an even number which is also a prime number.


Is it true that two distinct prime numbers can are relatively prime?

It is true. Two numbers are relatively prime if they do not have any factors in common greater than 1. A prime number has only two factors - 1 and itself. Thus, two different prime numbers will only have 1 as a common factor, which means they are relatively prime.
