479 and 479
The 2 smallest numbers that have GCF of 479 are 479 and 958.479 x 1 = 479479 x 2 = 958
The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. A single number (the smallest) cannot have a GCF.
479 and 958
2 and 3 are relatively prime, so multiply 479 by each of them to get two numbers that have 479 as a greatest common factor and are not divisible by each other, one which will be even and one which will be odd.479 x 2 = 958479 x 3 = 1437Furthermore, this is the smallest solution. The two numbers are multiples of 479, so let's call them 479x and 479y, where 479x is even and 479y is odd. Then x must be even, and y must be odd. So x is at least 2. y is an odd number, and it can't be 1 otherwise 479y would be a factor of 479x. So y is at least 3. Theefore the two numbers are at least 479*2 and 479*3.
1 is.
The two numbers can be 479 and 958 (479 doubled). 958 only has the factors 479 and 2, so, since 2 does not factor into 479, the common factor remains 479.
