Enter GCF or LCM numbers:

---

Determine GCF(5,8)

GCF = Largest factor that divides numbers

Determine the factors for 5

1,5

Determine the factors for 8

1,2,4

List the common factors

1

GCF(5,8) = 1

You have 1 free calculations remaining

---

GCF(5,8) = 1

Evaluate GCF

Since GCF = 1, they are relatively prime (co-prime)

Since GCF ≠ 1 and have a difference of two, the numbers are not twin prime
