We can't answer that without knowing what operating system you're using.

And lots of other factors affect file access in addition to the file's numeric group ID and/or alphanumeric group name. If you're using GNU utilities find AND the effective user ID of the process trying to access the file does not have permission to do so AND there is no ACL associated with this file AND the number given as the argument to the -gid primary is a valid group ID AND (the effective group ID or one of the supplementary group IDs of the running process matches the file's group ID OR the permissions on the file allow anyone to perform the type of access the process is requesting) then the process has access to open the file, remove the file, truncate the file, or rename the file. And, of course, depending on what you are trying to do, other restrictions might apply such as the time of day, the number of links to the file, etc. which might further restrict access to a file.

If you're using a BSD-based find utility, the results are based on a group name or group ID instead of just a group ID.

Name
       id - print user and group ID and names

Syntax
       id [ -gnru ]

Description
       The  command  writes a message on the standard output giving the user and group ID and the corresponding names of the invoking process.	If
       the effective and real IDs do not match, both are printed.

       If multiple groups are supported by the underlying system, the supplementary group affiliations of the invoking process are also written.

       When no options are specified, the standard format of output produced by is uid=%d(%s) gid=%d(%s), <real user id>, <user-name>, <real group
       id>, <group-name>

Options
       -g     Outputs only the group ID. The default format is %d
.  This may be modified by the -n option. The default group ID is the effective
	      group ID; this may be modified by the -r option.

       -n     Outputs the name in the format %s
 instead of the numeric ID when the -u or -g options are used.

       -r     Outputs the real ID instead of the effective ID when the -u or -g options are used.  There is no option to produce a list of supple-
	      mentary group IDs alone.

       -u     Outputs  only  the user ID. The default output format is %d0fP.  This may be modified with the -n option. The default user ID is the
	      effective user ID; this may be modified by the -r option.
