The greatest factor of any number is the number itself. There is no integer that is the greatest factor of every number. One is a factor of every number. One is the GCF of co-prime numbers.

Can two even numbers have greatest common factor of 1?

No. Every even number has a factor of 2. So any two even numbers share 2 as a factor. So the greatest common factor has to be at least 2.

What is the greatest common factor of 15 over 45?

It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! That number is 15/45, a fraction that is smaller than 1. The concept of factors makes sense in context of whole numbers since otherwise every non-zero number is a factor of every number.

4 3 and 6 have no proper factor in common. Remember that 1 is a factor of every counting number, but not a proper factor of any of them. Greatest common factor questions do not recognise 1 as a proper factor. When talking of primes neither 1 nor the number itself is regarded as a proper factor.

Why are there greatest common factors and not least common factors?

1 is the least common factor of all whole numbers, so there is nothing to choose for a least common factor. The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of a set of two or more numbers is the largest factor that will divide into every number in the set without leaving any remainder. 1 is the least, or smallest, factor common to all whole numbers.
