6 and 12
Pick a pair of numbers. Let's try 30 and 42. Their GCF is 6. 6 x 5 and 6 x 7 By the distributive property, that can be written as 6(5 + 7)
Yes, the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of a pair of numbers can be equal to one of the numbers. This happens when one of the numbers is a multiple of the other number. In such cases, the GCF will be the smaller number itself, as it is the largest number that can evenly divide both numbers. For example, the GCF of 12 and 6 is 6, as 6 is a factor of both numbers.
There are no common factors of 6 because there cannot be common factors without two or more numbers to compare. Common factors are factors that the numbers being compared have in common. Thus, there cannot be a least common factor. In general, the least common factor of two numbers is 1.
The least common factor of any set of numbers is 1.
6 and 12
6 and 12 are a pair of numbers with a GCF of 6.
There is an infinite list of sets of numbers with a GCF of 6. 6 and 12, for instance.
6 and 12, among many others.
[6] and [12] fit the requirement. 6 is the GCF of the pair.■
The prime factors of 60 are 2, 2, 3, and 5. The greatest common factor is 6, which accounts for a 2 and 3 from the prime factors of 60. The remaining numbers are 2 and 5. So, multiply 2x6 = 12 and 5x6=30 to come up with two numbers that have greatest common factor of 6 and least common multiple of 60.

6 is a factor of 36 but a common factor is only applicable to two or more numbers.
Oh, dude, if 3 isn't a common factor of a pair of numbers, then other numbers that can't be common factors are any multiples of 3 like 6, 9, 12, and so on. It's like when you're at a party and you realize you don't have anything in common with the person next to you - awkward! So yeah, if 3 isn't in the mix, its multiples are definitely out too.
The greatest common factor of the numbers 165 and 6 is 3.
6 and 9 are one pair of numbers with a common multiple of 18. Another pair are 9 and 18.
The lowest common FACTOR of any set of numbers is 1. Perhaps you meant the Lowest Common MULTIPLE, which for 6, 10, 15 is 30. Or you meant the HIGHEST Common Factor, which for 6, 10, 15 is 1.
