Neither 6, 4, 8, 9 nor 12 are factors of 3.
A factor is a number which, when multiplied by another number makes a third number. The factors of 9 are 3 and 3. The factors of 12 are 2, 2 and 3. SO 3 is a common factor of 9 and 12.
The prime factors of 12 are 2 and 3. The only prime factor of 27 is 3. The prime number that both 12 and 27 have as a factor is 3.
No. 6 has 3 as a factor. 12 has 3 as a factor.
3
3.
A factor that is a whole number. The whole number factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
The greatest common denominator (GCD) refers to a denominator that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question! The greatest denominator of any number is itself.

There are an infinite number of numbers with 3 as a factor. Any number evenly divisible by 3 has 3 as a factor. That means 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, ..., all have 3 as a factor.
It depends how its used. 3 is a prime number. 3 is a prime factor of 12.
3 is a prime factor of 12 and of 21.
A factor of a number is an integer that divides the number evenly (without remainder). So 2 and 3 are factors of 12 (12/2 is 6 and 12/3 is 4), but 7 is not a factor of 12 (12/7 is 1 remainder 5). 2 and 3 are not factors of 5 (notice 5 is prime).
