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 or polynomials. If you have only one number or polynomial there is nothing for it to have a factor in common with!
Because 3 is a factor of 9. Any number that has a composite number as a factor will also have that number's factors as factors.
Because 4 is a factor of 8. Any number that has 8 as a factor will also have 8's factors as factors.
Depending on your definition of proper factors, the set of proper factor factors either doesn't include 1 and/or the number itself for a given number.
A number will have an odd number of factors if and only if one of those factors is the square root of the number. This is because any factor of a number you can find must pair up with another factor of that number, and multiply to give the number. The only exception is when the factor would be paired with itself. In other words, be the square root. 81 is a square number, and so the factor 9 (square root of 81) will not pair with any other factor, meaning 81 will have an odd number of factors. 40 has an even number of factors, because it is not a square number, and so all its factors can pair up.

A factor is one of two or more numerical or algebraic components of a product. **Note : 1.To factor a counting number means to break it down into its prime number factors. 2.To factor a polynomial is to find its prime polynomial factors, a basic procedure for solving algebraic equations.
if a is number of tiles high and b is tiles wide then, (x+a) = height and (x+b) = width so the polynomial is (x+a)(x+b).
Anywhere. Provided it is not zero, and number p can be the leading coefficient of a polynomial. And any number q can be the constant term.

No.A polynomial is not a number. Do you mean can every number be represented by a polynomial?If so, the answer is still no.
Because 4 is a factor of 8. Any number that has 8 as a factor will also have 8's factors as factors.
The number 1 or a factor.
In the context of primes and factoriation, every counting number is a factor.
Any number with 11 in it is a factor: it is a factor of double the number, for example.
