Which pair of numbers is relatively prime? A. 10 and 33 B. 14 and 63 C. 26 and 91 D. 18 and 45
@Qwertty123
Ooo they gave you some tricky options :P Not even a pair of even numbers lol hmm
i honestly have no idea ;-;
Try to break the numbers down a little bit :) 14 = 7*2 63 = ?*?
idek what that means XD
We would like to rewrite each number as multiplication. And see if any of the multiplication numbers match up :)
Example: 6 = 3*2 8 = 4*2 6 and 8 are NOT relatively prime, because they both have a 2 as a multiplier
14 = 7*2 63 = ?*? what two numbers give you 63? :o
3 and 31 o-o ?
Hmm 3*31 = 93 woops :O
9 and 7
3 and 23
There is a nice divisibility trick for 3's and 9's. If the digits add up to a multiple of 9, then it's divisible by 9. 6+3 = 9, so it's 9*something and ya you spilled the beans -_- le sigh..
It would've been 3*21. But then we have to break down the 21 further D: So anyway, 14 = 7*2 63 = 7*9 They both have 7 as a factor/multiplier, so they are NOT relatively prime. So b is NOT the option we're looking for.
How bout option A? 10 = ?*? 33 = ?*?
isnt it c?
26 = 13*2 91 = 13*7 91 is a kind of difficult to break down, but it turns out they both have a 13 in them.
so its right?
if they share something... then they are NOT relatively prime. So no, it's not right
>-> crap
Try option A maybe, Break down the 10 into factors, and also the 33
5*2 and 3*11
?
Ok good :) 5*2 3*11 Oooo I think we did it!! ya? The second set of numbers has no 5 or 2 in it, and the first set of numbers has no 3 or 11 in it. So they are relatively prime! :)
thanks so much
