What two numbers have a GCF of 988?

Here we will explain and show you how to find what two numbers have the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 988.

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 988. Below is the beginning list of multiples of 988 (1 through 7) in numerical order.

1. 988
2. 1976
3. 2964
4. 3952
5. 4940
6. 5928
7. 6916
etc...

Two numbers that have a GCF of 988 can be 988 and any other number on the list above. Thus, two numbers that have a GCF of 988 are:

988 & 1976
988 & 2964
988 & 3952
etc...

That is not all! Any combination of any multiple of 988 and "odd" multiples of 988 will also have GCF of 988. 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 988.

1976 & 2964
1976 & 4940
3952 & 4940
3952 & 6916
etc...

Like we stated above, there are infinite combinations of two numbers whose GCF is 988. The lists we created can go on forever.
