I can't give you an example of when that happens because that doesn't ever happen. The GCF of a pair of numbers can't be larger than the smaller number.

Is the Greatest common factor a pair of numbers ever greater than both nbrrs?
No, it's never greater than the smallest number.
What are the greater common factor of18 and 36?
The Greatest Common Factor depends upon the numbers for which there are common factors and it is the greatest one of them; it can be greater than 18, for example the greatest common factor of 40 and 100 is 20. The greatest common factor must be one of the factors of each of the numbers. As the factors of each number cannot be greater than that number, the greatest common factor of a set of numbers cannot be greater than the least number. If this number is not greater than 18 then the greatest common factor of the numbers cannot be greater than 18. Even if the least number is greater than 18 it is possible that the greatest common factor of a set of numbers is still not greater than 18, for example the greatest common factor of 20, 30 and 50 is 10.
Why is greater common factors greater than common factors?
In any list of distinct numbers, one will be greater than the others. In the list of common factors, one will be the greatest.
When is the two greatest common factors of two numbers Explain your reasoning?
The GCF of two numbers is one of the two numbers when one of the numbers is a factor of the other because a number can't have a factor higher than itself.
What is the greatest common factor of two numbers that are both greater than 12 and less than 40 when the gcf is 12?
24 and 36
Are there any prime numbers that are also square numbers give example and explain why not?
No, square numbers greater than 1 have more than two factors.
Why there is no greater natural number?
Sure there are greater numbers. For example, 4 is greater than 3. If you mean "... no greatest number", the reason is that you can always add one more, and get a number that is even greater. Thus, for example, 10 is not the greatest number, because you can add one and get 11. 11 is not the greatest number either, because you can add one and get 12. Etc.
Is the gcf of a pair of numbers ever greater than both numbers and explain with a example?
A number can't have a factor greater than itself, so the GCF of a pair of numbers can't ever be greater than the smaller number. The GCF of 9 and 18 is 9.
Sara says the number with the most digit is always greatest do you agree Explain?
§ In comparing two whole numbers, the one with the most digits is always the greater number. § In decimals the number with the greatest number of digits is not always the greatest.
Which numbers are greater than 5.22?
There are infinitely many numbers: for example any number greater than 6, for example.
Is the Greatest common factor of a pair of numbers even greater than both numbers?
No, the greatest common factor is never greater than the smallest number. The greatest common factor is the largest integer that divides evenly into all of the numbers listed.
Is the Greatest Common Factor of two numbers greater than both numbers?
Yes it is.
Is the LCM of a pair of numbers ever less than both numbers explain with an example?
The LCM is never less than the greatest number in the set. The LCM of 4 and 9 is 36.
