In: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2000-August/000599.html I often talk about “relative primes” i.e. two numbers with no factors in common. At some point, a poster to sci.math took me to task for proffering “relative primes” as a term, since the regular usage is “relatively prime.” Two numbers are “relatively prime” not “relative primes.” Yeah, sci.math is like that. :-D Kirby -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
