Section 18 due 17 October

"Primality" is a weird word. I don't think I've heard it before.

Since GCD(7,9) = 1, does that mean that both a and b are relatively prime? Or are they relatively prime to each other? The latter makes far more sense, as 9 is not prime. Is relative primality unrelated to normal primality? Just wanted to double check. I wonder what good a definition dependent on a relationship to another number will do.

This section was pretty cool. Does this count as number theory?
