Which pair of numbers is coprime (relatively prime)?

Correct Answer

8 and 25

Explanation

Two numbers are coprime if their only common factor is 1. The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8 and the factors of 25 are 1, 5, 25. Their only common factor is 1, so they are coprime. Note that coprime numbers need not themselves be prime.
