The greatest common factor of 22 is 22 itself. This is because 22 is a Prime number, meaning it only has two factors: 1 and 22. Since there are no other common factors that are greater than 1, the greatest common factor remains as 22.

The expression 'common factor' or 'highest common factor' only applies when comparing the factors of two or more numbers.

The factors of 22 are 1,2,11 and 22.

Ignoring 22 itself, the highest factor is 11.

A single number cannot have a highest common factor because "common" refers to factors that two or more numbers have in common. You have only one number.

The word "GREATEST" is a superlative adjective and that means there can be only one. Furthermore, (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!
