    Math Definitions -> R -> Relatively Prime

 Relatively Prime


Two numbers are "relatively prime" if they have no common factors other than 1 (In other words you cannot evenly divide both by some common value)

Example: 7 and 20 are relatively prime (no common factor), but 7 and 21 are not relatively prime because you can divide both by 3 (3 is a common factor).
