    9 and 40

    21 and 40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Factors of 9:

    1,3,9

    Factors of 15:

    1,3,5,15

    Factors of 21:

    1,3,7,21

    Factors of 40:

    1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40

    We have to find the pairs of numbers which are relatively prime.

    Relatively prime number: The numbers in which gcd 1 are called relative prime numbers.

    a. 9 and 15

    GCD (9,15) = 3

    9 and 15 are not relatively prime.

    b. 9 and 40

    GCD (9,40) = 1

    Hence, 9 and 40 are relatively prime.

    c. 9 and 21

    GCD (9,21) = 3

    9 and 21 are not relatively prime.

    d. 15 and 21

    GCD (15,21) = 3

    15 and 21 are not relatively prime.

    e. 21 and 40

    GCD (21,40) = 1

    21 and 40 are relatively prime.
