The GCF of two numbers is 850. Neither number is divisible by the other. What is the smallest that these two numbers could be?

What have you tried?
well, I'm not sure, but this is what I thought was right.
1700= 2x2x5x5x17
2550= 2x3x5x5x17
GCF= 2x5x5x17= 850
1700= 2x2x5x5x17
2550= 2x3x5x5x17
GCF= 2x5x5x17= 850
That looks right to me, and those two numbers are not divisible either so good job.
