What two numbers have a GCF of 986?

Here we will explain and show you how to find what two numbers have the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 986.

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 986. Below is the beginning list of multiples of 986 (1 through 7) in numerical order.

1. 986
2. 1972
3. 2958
4. 3944
5. 4930
6. 5916
7. 6902
etc...

Two numbers that have a GCF of 986 can be 986 and any other number on the list above. Thus, two numbers that have a GCF of 986 are:

986 & 1972
986 & 2958
986 & 3944
etc...

That is not all! Any combination of any multiple of 986 and "odd" multiples of 986 will also have GCF of 986. 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 986.

1972 & 2958
1972 & 4930
3944 & 4930
3944 & 6902
etc...

Like we stated above, there are infinite combinations of two numbers whose GCF is 986. The lists we created can go on forever.
