    125, 2 in this pair GCD of numbers is 1 as they do not have common factor.

    in english it is called co-prime numbers.

    A) Whats the mystery Nr? may be co-prime having GCD 1

    B)Whats t prime factorization of this nr? 125 = 5 × 5 × 5 (all the factors are prime called prime factors.

    C)How can the prime factorization be written using exponents? 125 = 5^3 and 2 = 2^1

    a) its factors are 2 and 125, so the number is 2*125 = 250 (as it doesn't have any other factors and 2 and 125 have no common factors).

    b) 2 is already a prime,

    125 = 5*25 = 5*5*5

    So 250 = 2*5*5*5.

    c) 250 = 2*(5*5*5) = 2^1 * 5^3
