The elements 2 and 1 + √ −3 are two maximal common divisors (that is, any common divisor which is a multiple of 2 is associated to 2, the same holds for 1 + √ −3, but they are not associated, so there is no greatest common divisor of a and b.
The first in decimal: 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 (sequence A046760 in the OEIS). An economical number has been defined as a frugal number, but also as a number that is either frugal or equidigital.
For example, 6 and 35 factor as 6 = 2 × 3 and 35 = 5 × 7, so they are not prime, but their prime factors are different, so 6 and 35 are coprime, with no common factors other than 1. A 24×60 rectangle is covered with ten 12×12 square tiles, where 12 is the GCD of 24 and 60.
Move the multiplier one place to the right. Change 7 to horizontal form, 6 to vertical. 8×7 = 56, place 56 in the second row in the middle, with the units place aligned with the digits multiplied in the multiplier. Take 7 out of the multiplier since it has been multiplied. 8×6 = 48, 4 added to the 6 of the last step makes 10, carry 1 over.
For example, 6 is highly composite because d(6)=4 and d(n)=1,2,2,3,2 for n=1,2,3,4,5 respectively. A related concept is that of a largely composite number , a positive integer that has at least as many divisors as all smaller positive integers.
The greatest common divisor is not unique: if d is a GCD of p and q, then the polynomial f is another GCD if and only if there is an invertible element u of F such that = and =. In other words, the GCD is unique up to the multiplication by an invertible constant.
This is equivalent to their greatest common divisor (GCD) being 1. [2] One says also a is prime to b or a is coprime with b. The numbers 8 and 9 are coprime, despite the fact that neither—considered individually—is a prime number, since 1 is their only common divisor. On the other hand, 6 and 9 are not coprime, because they are both ...
For example, 15 is a composite number because 15 = 3 · 5, but 7 is a prime number because it cannot be decomposed in this way. If one of the factors is composite, it can in turn be written as a product of smaller factors, for example 60 = 3 · 20 = 3 · (5 · 4) .
