A whole number, f, is a factor of another whole number, n, if f goes into n some exact number of times - that is, it leaves no remainder.
Another way of putting it is: if you have a number n, then f is a factor of n if you can find a number, g (not necessarily different), such that f*g = n

Divide the factor into the number. If the answer is a whole number, the factor is a factor.
The greatest common factor can't be a smaller number than the least common factor, but if you meant least common multiple, 7 and 28 have a GCF of 7 and an LCM of 28.
The greatest common factor of two (or more) integers is the biggest whole number that divides into each one of them. The least common factor is the smallest whole number that divides into each one of them and must be 1. Very possibly, you meant the least common multiple, however?
1 is a factor of every number.1 is a factor of every number.
A single number can't have a common factor. In case you meant the product of its prime fators, that's 2^-4 x 5^-4.
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.If you meant 8 and 4, then the greatest common factor is 4.You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
I think you meant to say that it's never greater than the least of the numbers.The easiest explanation is to simply remind you that the GCF is a factor of every numberin the group, and no factor of a number can be greater than the number itself.
A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
Every composite number has its own unique tree, so I guess the answer is all numbers have one tree. Perhaps you meant one branch or one factor. Prime numbers only have two factors, one of them is prime, so if you try to do a factor tree with a prime number, it stops the second you write the number down. And then there's one. One only has one factor, so we won't even bother with a tree. We'll call it a factor twig.
Every number has a factor.
The greatest factor of any number is the number itself. The second greatest factor of any even number is half the number. The second greatest factor of any composite number is the number divided by its smallest prime factor. The second greatest factor of any prime number is 1.
