Answer:

Relatively prime numbers have a GCF of 1. The numbers 38 and 40 have a GCF of 2, so they are not relatively prime.

When you say that two numbers are relatively prime, it means that both numbers do not have a common factor except 1. Stephen is incorrect because 38 and 40 are both multiples of 2.

I hope I answered your question. Thank you J
