Dear Student

Factors of 81 are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81
Factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Common factors = 1
Since, their common factor is 1. Hence, the given two numbers are co-prime

​Thanks

Dear student ,
Please find attached your solution
I have done factorization for your convinience
If two numbers are not having any common factor except 1 
then they are the numbers may be even or odd that does not matter
So 81 and 16 are co-prime
Thanks

Dear Student,
 
Factors of 81 = 1×3×3×3×3
Factors of 16 = 1×2×2×2×2
Common factors = 1
 
Since the common factor is 1, the given two numbers are co prime.
 
Hope it helps!
Thank you
