Co-prime Numbers : What are Co-Prime Numbers?

What are relatively prime numbers / co-prime numbers?

A set of numbers which do not have any other common factor other than 1 are called co-prime or relatively prime numbers. This means those numbers whose HCF is 1.

For example, 8 and 9 have no other common factor other than 1 so they are co-prime numbers.
