Algebra, chapter IV, § 1. Polynomials

With the notation of Prop. 12 we say that dd is a greatest common divisor (gcd for short) of ff and gg. We say that ff and gg are relatively prime or that ff is prime to gg if 11 is a gcd of ff and gg.

To say that ff and gg are relatively prime thus means that there exist polynomials uu and vv in K[X]K[X] such that uf+vg=1u f + v g = 1.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
