The greatest common factor is the greatest number that fits evenly into all of the numbers.
The least common multiple is the smallest number that is divisible by all of the numbers in the set.
they are kind of like opposites of one another.
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.
Two numbers are considered relatively prime when their GCF is 1.
850 and 1700
Two numbers are considered to be co-prime if they share no common prime factors, that is, if their GCF is 1.
It depends on the numbers. The GCF of 25 and 26 is 1, but the GCF of 25 and 50 is 25. No matter what, it will be an odd number.
No, they are considered to be prime factors because they are prime numbers.
If one of the numbers is a multiple of the other, the smaller number is the GCF. If the two numbers are prime numbers, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive even numbers, the GCF is 2.
Two numbers, like 4 and 9, are considered co-prime if their GCF is 1.
34 and 68, among others.
They could be 12 and 18
To find a pair of numbers with a given GCF, take the GCF number and double it. The pair of numbers is the GCF, and two times the GCF. For instance, two numbers with a GCF of 3 are 3 and 6.
1700 and 2550
