How can you determine that 35 and 12 are relatively prime by looking at their prime facorizations? Can you find another pair of relatively prime numbers?

5x7 and 2^2x3 have no prime factors in common.

Another pair of relatively prime numbers would be 2x5 =10 and 3^2 = 9.

Actually, ANY pair that's only separated by 1 will be relatively prime, because any common factor has to divide 1.

So 99 and 100 is another example. So is 200 and 201.
