Method 1:
\List the factors of each number.
\Factors of 9 : 3, 9
\Factors of 26 : 2 , 13, 26
\Identify the greatest common factor.
\There are no common prime factors.Two numbers always have 1 as a common factor.
\So, the GCF is 1, and the numbers are relativety prime.
Method 2:
\Write the prime factorization of each number.
\9 = 3 × 3.
\26 = 2 × 13.
\There are no common prime factors.Two numbers always have 1 as a common factor.
\So, the GCF is 1, and the numbers are relativety prime.
