A factor is a divisor - a number that will evenly divide into another number.

The factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, and 21.

The factors of 49 are 1, 7, and 49.

The common factors are 1 and 7. The least (or smallest) common factor is 1.

Because the smallest factor of any integer is usually 1, the least common factor of two or more integers is also usually 1.
