ProfessorThe least common factor is a term often mistakenly given to either the greatest common factor (GCF) or the least common multiple (LCM). This term is not often used because it does not describe a useful relationship between numbers. Since 1 evenly divides all integers, 1 is technically the least common factor for any set of integers.
Since 25 is a single number, you could say that it shares all of its factors with itself. The smallest non-one factor of 25 is 5.

What is the least common factor of 8 and 25?
The least common factor of any set of numbers is 1.
What is the least common factor of 45 27 and 25?
The least common factor of 45, 27, and 25 is 1. If you meant the least common multiple of those three numbers, then that would be 675. The factors of 25 are 1, 5, and 25. The factors of 27 are 1, 3, 9, and 27. The factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45. The only common factor is 1. Therefore, it is both the greatest common factor (the largest one) and the least common factor (the smallest one).
What is the least common factor of 48 and 116?
The least common factor is the smallest factor that two or more numbers have in common. Thus, the least common factor of two numbers is 1. The least common factor of 48 and 116 is 1.
Why is there no Least Common factor if there is Greatest Common Factor?
The least common factor is always one (1), regardless of what the greatest common factor is.
What is the lowest common factor of 25?
You need at least two numbers to find something in common between them, but the least common factor of any set of integers is 1, so it doesn't matter what other number you pick.
