There are infinitely many answers. 1 * -588 2 * -294 3 * -196 etc Then there are 0.1 * -5880 0.2 * -2940 etc and 0.01 * -58800 0.02 * -29400 etc and so on And you can introduce irrational numbers: sqrt(2) * -588/sqrt(2) sqrt(3) * -588/sqrt(3)
A factor that two or more numbers share is known as a common factor.
(294,2)(196,3)(147,4)(98,6)(84,7)(49,12)(42,14)(28,21)
That would be called a "common factor" of the two (or more) numbers.

588 4 x 147 (2x2) x (3x49) (2x2) x (3 x (7x7)) Since 2, 3, and 7 are prime numbers, the factor tree is complete.
588 294,2 147,2,2 49,3,2,2 7,7,3,2,2
588 294,2 147,2,2 49,3,2,2 7,7,3,2,2
Yes.
The HCF is always a factor of the LCM of two numbers. The HCF is a factor of both the numbers which are factors of their LCM. Thus the HCF is also a factor of the LCM of the two numbers.
Here are some examples: 1*588 = 588 2*294 = 588 3*196 = 588 4*147 = 588 7*84 = 588 12*49 = 588 14*42 = 588
A number that is a factor of two or more numbers is simply a common factor
All even numbers have two as a factor. Any two even numbers have (at the least) two as a common factor. That means the GCF of any two even numbers will have two as a factor. Any number that has two as a factor is even.
Use a factor tree. 588 Divide by two. 294,2 Divide by two. 147,2,2 Divide by three. 49,3,2,2 Divide by seven. 7,7,3,2,2 Stop. All the factors are prime. 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 = 588
