No, unless you're factoring negative numbers. (For example, -36 = -1 x 36.) But a positive number cannot have a factor greater than it. The reason why is that if a larger number times something is a smaller (positive) number, that "something" must be between 0 and 1: a > b > 0 (where a and b are positive whole numbers) ax = b (for some x) Therefore, a > ax > 0. Dividing by a: 1 > x > 0, so x cannot be a whole number.

Why GCF of two or more positive integers never greater than the least of the numbers?
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.

No. Firstly no positive number can have a factor greater than itself. A factor of a number is another number which can be divided into the first number exactly. A common factor of two numbers must obey the same rule with both numbers.
