There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.Besides, the word "common" implies that the multiple is common to two or more numbers. There is only one number in the question.
850 is not the greatest common factor of 85 and 10. The person answering the question about the numbers with 850 as the greatest common factor was apparently thinking about the factors of 850 itself, not numbers that would have 850 as their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 10 and 85 is 5. The least common multiple of 10 and 85 is 170. The product of 10 and 85 is 850.
Keeping this simple what sounds like a 6 grade math problem ... The two numbers are 850 the greatest common factor of two numbeers is 850 neither number is divisible by the other
850 is the GCF of 850 and 1700.
850 and 1700
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.
850 and 1700 are possibilities.
850 and 1700, among others.
850 and any multiple of 850. Any multiples of 850 that differ by 850.
There can be no greatest common multiple. If x were the greatest common multiple, then 2x would be a still greater common multiple. So x could not be the greatest. Thus there is no such thing as a greatest common multiple.
An infinite number of number pairs have a greatest common factor of 850. One example is 1700 and 2550.
850
The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
