EXAMPLE 2 Identifying Relatively Prime Numbers
Tell whether the numbers 112 and 45 are relatively prime.
SOLUTION
Write the prime factorization of each number. Then look for all the common prime factors.
112 = 24 7 45 = 32 5
There are no common prime factors. However, two numbers always have 1 as a common factor. So, the GCF is 1.

EXAMPLE 3 Solve a Multi-Step Problem
Pep Rally
Students at your school are planning to hand out pep rally packs to support your school’s athletic program. The students have 240 bumper stickers, 360 pennants, and 720 pencils. Every pack must have the same contents, and no items should be left over. What is the greatest number of packs that can be made? What will each pack contain?

EXAMPLE 3 Solve a Multi-Step Problem
STEP 1
Find the greatest number of pep rally packs by finding the GCF.
240 = 24 3 5 720 = 24 32 5360 = 23 32 5
The common prime factors are 23, 3 and 5. The GCF is 23 3 5, or 120. So, 120 pep rally packs can be made.

EXAMPLE 3 Solve a Multi-Step Problem
STEP 2
Divide the number of items by the number of pep rally packs.
ANSWER
The greatest number of pep rally packs is 120. Each pack will contain 2 bumper stickers, 3 pennants, and 6 pencils.
240 120 = 2 360 120 = 3 720 120 = 6
