The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.
The smallest of the two numbers could be 850.
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.
1700 = 850 X 2
850 and 1700
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
850 is not the greatest common factor of 85 and 10. The person answering the question about the numbers with 850 as the greatest common factor was apparently thinking about the factors of 850 itself, not numbers that would have 850 as their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 10 and 85 is 5. The least common multiple of 10 and 85 is 170. The product of 10 and 85 is 850.
850 is the GCF of 850 and 1700.
The smallest pair of numbers with greatest common factor of 850 would be 850 and 1700.850 x 1 = 850850 x 2 = 1700If neither number can be 850, or it is specified that neither number is divisible by the other, the next smallest pair would be 1700 and 2550.850 x 2 = 1700850 x 3 = 2550If both are allowed to be 850 then the pair would be 850 and 850.850 x 1 = 850850 x 1 = 850If 0 is allowed, then it would be 850 and 0.850 x 0 = 0850 x 1 = 850If you have the greatest common factor and multiply it by two different numbers that are relatively prime (in other words, they have no factors in common), you will have a pair of numbers whose greatest common factor is the number given. The smallest pair is 1 and 2, but one number would be divisible by the other. The next smallest pair is 2 and 3, and neither number will be divisible by the other.1700 and 2550
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.
The smallest possible pair of numbers is 1700 and 2550.
