What two numbers have a GCF of 493?

Here we will explain and show you how to find what two numbers have the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 493.

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 493. Below is the beginning list of multiples of 493 (1 through 7) in numerical order.

1. 493
2. 986
3. 1479
4. 1972
5. 2465
6. 2958
7. 3451
etc...

Two numbers that have a GCF of 493 can be 493 and any other number on the list above. Thus, two numbers that have a GCF of 493 are:

493 & 986
493 & 1479
493 & 1972
etc...

That is not all! Any combination of any multiple of 493 and "odd" multiples of 493 will also have GCF of 493. 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 493.

986 & 1479
986 & 2465
1972 & 2465
1972 & 3451
etc...

Like we stated above, there are infinite combinations of two numbers whose GCF is 493. The lists we created can go on forever.
