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 = 958
479 x 3 = 1437

Furthermore, 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.

The greatest common factor of two numbers is 850 Neither number is divisible by the other What is the smallest that these two numbers could be?

The smallest possible pair of numbers is 1700 and 2550.

Two even numbers won't have an odd GCF.


What is the smallest two numbers could be if the greatest common factor of the two numbers is 850?

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

What is the smallest number that looks prime but it isn't?

1 cuz 1 is not a prime number but it is not a composite number neither
