For a greatest common factor of 33, the number 66 (2 x 33) would be a smaller multiple than 99 (3 x 33).

I think you meant to say that it's never greater than the least of the numbers.The easiest explanation is to simply remind you that the GCF is a factor of every numberin the group, and no factor of a number can be greater than the number itself.
850 and 1700
Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide them by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
Don't have a common factor greater than 1.

Since the greater number 57 is an odd number, then the other number must be 38 which is an even number, smaller than 57.
The GCF of any set of numbers implies that all numbers in the set are multiples of the GCF. The multiples of 17 are 17,34,51 etc. If the greater number is 51 (which is an odd number) then the only solution for the other number (which is even and less than 51) is 34.
The GCF means it's a factor of both numbers. 10 is not a factor of 57.

The LCM of a set of numbers will never be less than the GCF.
The LCM of a set of numbers will never be less than the GCF.
The GCF of 2 and any even number is 2.
Any two integers have a gcf. It is also possible for an odd and an even number to have a gcf other than one; for example, the following numbers (shown in factored form) have the gcf 7: 7 x 7 7 x 8 ex. 3 and 6, the GCF is 3 14 and 21 the GCF is 7
2 and any other even number.
No, it is not.
