I just downloaded the latest version of node.js, which at the time of this post is 8.11
Yet my npm version# was still on 5.x, so I ran
npm install -g npm
Now, when I run npm -v, I see 6.1.0
Are the version#'s for Node and npm usually different?

That said, npm@7 is the current version of npm and it too will be supported on 14 as well for as long as 14 is supported. If you don't want to force your coworker to update, npm@6 will continue to receive updates as long as Node. js 14 is supported.
js 16, include: Experimental implementation of the standard Web Crypto API. npm 7 (v7. 10.0 in Node.
On April 24 the Node. js project released version 10.0. 0 of Node. js and npm Inc released version 6.0 of npm, the JavaScript package manager.
npm uses the tilde (~) and caret (^) to designate which patch and minor versions to use respectively. So if you see ~1.0. 2 it means to install version 1.0. 2 or the latest patch version such as 1.0.
NPM is Node Package Manager. It is the official package manager for Node. That is why NPM is downloaded with Node, but they are 2 totally different pieces of software and evolve separately.

In short, yes, they aren't the same thing - NPM is a package manager and Node is a runtime and both are developed separately with different release cycles.
