Best Answer

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.

Is it true or false that all numbers with a 0 in the ones' place are composite numbers?

It is true (as long as there are no decimal places after the ones place) because those numbers will always be divisible by 2, 5, and 10. With exception of the number zero which is neither prime nor composite.


True or false if two numbers a relatively prime one of the must be prime?

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.


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.
