(d) 17 and 68

(e) 216 and 215

(f) 81 and 16



Answer -

(a) 18 and 35

Factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, 35

Common factor = 1

Since, their common factor is 1. Hence, the given two numbers are co-prime

(b) 15 and 37

Factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, 15

Factors of 37 are 1, 37

Common factors = 1

Since, their common factor is 1. Hence, the given two numbers are co-prime

(c) 30 and 415

Factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

Factors of 415 are 1, 5, 83, 415

Common factors = 1, 5

Since, their common factor is other than 1. Hence, the given two numbers are not co-prime

(d) 17 and 68

Factors of 17 are 1, 17

Factors of 68 are 1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68

Common factors = 1, 17

Since, their common factor is other than 1. Hence, the given two numbers are not co-prime

(e) 216 and 215

Factors of 216 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 108, 216

Factors of 215 are 1, 5, 43, 215

Common factors = 1

Since, their common factor is 1. Hence, the given two numbers are co-prime

(f) 81 and 16

Factors of 81 are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81

Factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

Common factors = 1

Since, their common factor is 1. Hence, the given two numbers are co-prime
