All whole numbers are factors of themselves since
a factor is any integer times another integer that equals the number.
So, 12 can be factored to 2x6 = 12, 3x4 = 12, and 1x12 = 12. Since
1x12 = 12, 12 and 1 are factors of 12, so 12 is a factor of 12. Since
all whole numbers (n) can be written as n*1 = n, all whole numbers
are factors of themselves.

Can a greatest common factor be a rational number?
All factors are whole numbers and all whole numbers are rational numbers (a rational number is one which can be expressed as one integer over another integer, and whole numbers can be expressed as themselves over 1), thus all factors are rational numbers and so all greatest common factors are rational numbers. The set of whole numbers is a [proper] subset of the set of rational numbers: ℤ ⊂ ℚ
