If the GCF of two numbers is 850, both numbers are multiples of 850. Multiples of 850 include 850, 1700, 2250 and so on. The smallest two numbers that have a GCF of 850 are 850 and 1700. But 1700 is divisible by 850. 1700 and 2250 are the next two smallest and are not divisible by each other.
The smallest of the two numbers could be 850.
1700 = 850 X 2
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.
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. If you're looking for two numbers that have a GCF of 850, they will both be even.

850 and 1700
850 and 850If they need to be different, 850 and 1700
1700 and 2550
Because 2550-1700 = 850
The smallest of the two numbers could be 850.
The smallest possible pair of numbers is 1700 and 2550.

1 and 2.
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
