You can't find the greatest common factor of 850 unless you have another number with it... For example: What is the greatest common factor of 850 and 425? Then, the answer would be: 425, since 425*2=850.The smallest factor of 850 is 1, but you need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
There is no common factor for a single number. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest factor common to two or more numbers. For example, 17 is the GCF of 34, 51, and 102 because it is the largest number that is a factor common to all three numbers.
1700 and 2550
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
The smallest possible pair of numbers is 1700 and 2550.
