Pls tell what are

1. Co-prime numbers
2. Perfect numbers
3. Twin primes
4. Prime-triplets

Pls explain this in a simple language and with an example????

Dear Student, 

1. Co-prime numbers are numbers who have only 1 as a common factor. Therefore, HCF of such numbers is 1.

Eg: 6, 25Factors of 6 = 1,2,3,6Factors of 25 =1,5, 25So, 1 is the only common factor between 6 and 25

2. A perfect number 'n' is a positive integer which is equal to the sum of its factors, excluding 'n' itself.

Eg: 28Factors of 28 = 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28Sum of factors of 28 (except 28) =1+ 2+ 4+ 7+ 14=28 

3. If only one composite number is present between two prime numbers, then such numbers are called twin prime numbers. So, the difference between twin prime numbers is always two.

Eg: 3 and 5Only 1 composite number i.e 4 is present between 3 and 5.Also, 5 - 3 = 2

4. A set of three consecutive prime numbers, differing by 2  is called a prime triplet. 

Eg: 3, 5 and 75-3 = 2 , 7-5 = 23,5 and 7 are the only known prime triplet.
