This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Two numbers m and n are coprime if GCD(m,n)=1. The GCD is the greatest common divisor of the two. Put more plainly, if you take the prime factorization of m and n, they should have no prime factors in common.

more simply, two positive integers m m and nn are coprime if the largest number that divides both m m and n n is 1 1 .

a set of numbers which do not have any common factor except 1 are called co-prime numbers. eg.:14 n 15 are coprime as they are both divisible by only 1,but 14 and 21 are not co prime as they are divisible by both 1 and 7.that's it.

easy isn't it?
