relatively prime [′rel·ə‚tiv·lē ′prīm]

(mathematics)

Integersmandnare relatively prime if there are integerspandqso thatpm+qn= 1; equivalently, if they have no common factors other than 1.

(mathematics)

relatively prime - Having no common divisors (greater than 1).

Two numbers are said to be relativey prime if there is no number greater than unity that divides both of them evenly.

For example, 10 and 33 are relativly prime. 15 and 33 are not relatively prime, since 3 is a divisor of both.

The 2500-Year-Old Pythagorean Theorem by Brain Haley / Reference and Education community In 1837, Dirichlet (1805-1859) proved that an arithmetic progression {a + nb}, where a and b are relatively prime, contains an infinite number of primes.
