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.

What is the GCF of 58 and 85?
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.
What mean relatively prime numbers?
Two numbers are considered relatively prime when their GCF is 1.
The Gcf of two numbers is 850 What is the smalles that these two numbers could be?
850 and 1700
What is the co-prime numbers?
Two numbers are considered to be co-prime if they share no common prime factors, that is, if their GCF is 1.
Are 3 and 5 considered prime factors because their GCF is 1?
No, they are considered to be prime factors because they are prime numbers.
What is the greatest common factor of an odd number?
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.
What are co-prime numbers give egs?
Two numbers, like 4 and 9, are considered co-prime if their GCF is 1.
How can you find the gcf of two numbers without knowing the factors?
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.
What are two composite numbers whose gcf is 6?
They could be 12 and 18
What pair of numbers could 34 be the GCF of?
34 and 68, among others.
How do you find a pair of numbers when the GCF is given?
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.
The GCF of two numbers is 850 Neither number is divisible by the other What is the smallest that these numbers could be?
1700 and 2550
