What would happen if we tried to draw a pqtorus knot where p

What would happen if we tried to draw a (p,q)-torus knot where p and q were not relatively prime? Say a (3,6) torus knot?

Solution

In graph theory the Torus knot is a knot that lies on the surface of an unknotted torus in 3 dimension space R3.

If p and q are not relatively prime, then we\'ll have a torus link which would comprise of more than one component.
