What two numbers have a GCF of 2996?

Here we will explain and show you how to find what two numbers have the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 2996.

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 2996. Below is the beginning list of multiples of 2996 (1 through 7) in numerical order.

1. 2996
2. 5992
3. 8988
4. 11984
5. 14980
6. 17976
7. 20972
etc...

Two numbers that have a GCF of 2996 can be 2996 and any other number on the list above. Thus, two numbers that have a GCF of 2996 are:

2996 & 5992
2996 & 8988
2996 & 11984
etc...

That is not all! Any combination of any multiple of 2996 and "odd" multiples of 2996 will also have GCF of 2996. 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 2996.

5992 & 8988
5992 & 14980
11984 & 14980
11984 & 20972
etc...

Like we stated above, there are infinite combinations of two numbers whose GCF is 2996. The lists we created can go on forever.
