even numbers
1 and 2
It CAN'T be even, since the number 2 is not a factor of the odd number. "Even" means that a number is a multiple of 2.
Having a factor of 2 defines an even number. Multiplying anything that has a factor of 2 by anything else will create a product that has a factor of 2, which will be by definition an even number.
By definition, every even number has 2 as a factor. That means that every set of even numbers will have at least 2 as a common factor. The GCF might be higher, but if it has 2 as a factor, it's even.
The only number that is always a factor is 1. This is based on my assumption that there are no decimals in your answer.
The number 1.
Yes. The odd number does not have 2 as a factor (or else the number would be even). So the gcf does not have 2 as a factor. So the gcf must be odd.

2 is not a factor of 889 because 889 is not even.
Short answer: 2 The only number by which a factor of 4 may always be divided (other than 4) is 2.
The smallest prime factor of any even number greater than two will always be two (2).
No. Because both numbers are even, they each have 2 as a factor. Even if they have a larger factor in common, it will be a multiple of 2, so the greatest common factor will be an even number.Yes. Two even numbers are each divisible by 2. The GCF must therefore always have two as one of its factors; this makes it even.
