The word 'common' is used when we compare two or more elements to see similarities or when something is equally shared by two or more things.
Let us consider an example:
What is common between a lion and a tiger?
1 - Both are wild animals
2 - Both are mammals
3 - Both are flesh eating animals
But we can't ask for similarities for a lion to itself.
So, we need at least two things to compare. We can't compare an element to itself to find similarities.
So we can't find common factors of one number.
