Use prime factorization to check if 40 and 231 are co-prime.

  • 1

40 and 231 are co-prime. The prime factorization of 40 is 2³ × 5 and 231 = 3 × 7 × 11.  Since they share no common factors, they are co-prime.

    1. To verify co-primality, find the prime factorization:
      • 40 = 2³ × 5, with prime factors 2 and 5.
      • 231 = 3 × 7 × 11, with prime factors 3, 7, and 11.
      Since there are no overlapping prime factors between 40 and 231, their greatest common divisor (GCD) is 1. Therefore, they are co-prime, satisfying the condition of having no shared factors except for 1.
