There cannot be a greatest common factor (GCF) of just one number. To be common there need to be at least two numbers. If you find all the factors of two or more numbers, and you find some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.

A single number cannot have a greatest common factor because "common" refers to factors that two or more numbers have in common. You have only one number.
Also, there can only be one greatest.
The greatest common factor (or greatest common divisor) of 35 and 84 is 7.
The greatest common factor of 10 and 35 is 5.
The greatest common factor of 35 and 63 is 7.
whats is the greatest common factor of 10, 30, and 35
The greatest common factor of a number is the biggest number that will divide wholly into both numbers. For your example with the two numbers being 5 and 35, the greatest common factor is 5. 5 / 5 = 1 35 / 5 = 7 5 is a factor of 35, so it is their GCF.
