What two numbers have a GCF of 2972?

Here we will explain and show you how to find what two numbers have the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 2972.

There is actually an infinite number of answers to this question. First, note that both the numbers we are looking for must be multiples of 2972. Below is the beginning list of multiples of 2972 (1 through 7) in numerical order.

1. 2972
2. 5944
3. 8916
4. 11888
5. 14860
6. 17832
7. 20804
etc...

Two numbers that have a GCF of 2972 can be 2972 and any other number on the list above. Thus, two numbers that have a GCF of 2972 are:

2972 & 5944
2972 & 8916
2972 & 11888
etc...

That is not all! Any combination of any multiple of 2972 and "odd" multiples of 2972 will also have GCF of 2972. We numbered the multiples above so it would be easy to identify the "odd" multiples (number 1, 3, 5, 7, etc). Thus, here are some more examples of two numbers that also have a GCF of 2972.

5944 & 8916
5944 & 14860
11888 & 14860
11888 & 20804
etc...

Like we stated above, there are infinite combinations of two numbers whose GCF is 2972. The lists we created can go on forever.
