You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
I think "smallest greatest" is my new favorite oxymoron. If the GCF of two numbers is 850, the smallest those two numbers could be is 850 and 850. If they need to be different, the smallest they could be is 850 and 1700.
You can't find the greatest common factor of 850 unless you have another number with it... For example: What is the greatest common factor of 850 and 425? Then, the answer would be: 425, since 425*2=850.The smallest factor of 850 is 1, but you need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
850 is the GCF of 850 and 1700.
the smallest common factor is 1 and the gcf is 25.
The GCF is 25.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. If you're looking for two numbers that have a GCF of 850, they will both be even.
You need at least two numbers to get a GCF.
If the two numbers have a Greatest Common Factor of 850, the smallest they can be are the lowest two relatively prime multiples of 850, which are 2 and 3. The numbers would be 1700 and 2550.*If, conversely, the numbers sought have a Least Common Multiple of 850, the numbers are 25 and 34, as the next pair would be 17 and 50.
No. The smallest coefficient possible is 1, and the smallest GCF is also 1. You cannot have a common factor of zero.
There is no common factor for a single number. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest factor common to two or more numbers. For example, 17 is the GCF of 34, 51, and 102 because it is the largest number that is a factor common to all three numbers.
The lowest common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
If the GCF of two numbers is 850, both numbers are multiples of 850. Multiples of 850 include 850, 1700, 2250 and so on. The smallest two numbers that have a GCF of 850 are 850 and 1700. But 1700 is divisible by 850. 1700 and 2250 are the next two smallest and are not divisible by each other.
