Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor of two numbers is sometimes 1 when they are coprime to each other.

Coprime numbers are those numbers who are relatively prime.

Now, prime numbers are those numbers who are divisible by 1 and itself only.

So, eventually when we going to find the greatest common factor of two prime numbers it comes out to be 1 only.

For example, we takes two numbers 2 and 5 ,

Factor of 2 = 1,2

Factor of 5= 1,5

So , 1 is only common factor between them.

Because one of the numbers can be prime numbers, for example the greatest common factor of 12 and 13 it's 1 because 13 it's a prime number or because they don't have common prime factors.Prime numbers are the numbers who can be divided just by 1 and themselves.

April, x, slept 9 hours; Evelyn slept 2/3
xeze [42]

Answer:

she slept for 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

its actually simple so we know that April slept for 9 hours bug Evelyn only slept 2/3 of 9 hours and if you add 1/3 and 2/3 you get 3/3 which equals a whole so all you have to do is devide 9 into 3 and you get 3 parts with 3 now you add 3 and 3 together and that equals 6 and that was two parts you added which is equaled to 2/3 so all you have to do now is subtract 9-6 and you leave with three which is 1/3 so we come to the final answer she slept for three hours

sorry for such a long explanation
