the smaller number
There is no such thing as the smallest common factor. I guess the smallest common factor (integers only) for 16 and 24 would be -8. But that's just the negative version of the greatest common factor. I think you meant to ask either what is the smallest common multiple of 16 and 24 or what is the greatest common factor of 16 and 24. The greatest common factor of 16 and 24 is 8. The smallest common multiple of 16 and 24 is 48.
In the list of common factors, the greatest is the largest, the least is the smallest (which is always 1)
The smallest of the two numbers could be 850.
To split things into smaller sections.
Yes, the greatest common factor is less than or equal to the smallest coefficient. For example, the greatest common factor of 38 and 8 is 2.
Yes.

what is the smallest and greatest factor of 280

The greatest common factor is 13. Both 26 and 91 are divisible by 13. The greatest common factor cannot be larger than the smallest number, so the greatest common factor in this case is the smallest number - 13, since it is a factor of the other two numbers.
The greatest common multiple of any set of numbers is infinite.
The largest of the common factors of numbers is known as the greatest common divisor or greatest common denominator. The smallest common factor is called the lowest common divisor.
479 and 479
That would be 4, and 2; greatest common factor is 2.
The smallest of the two numbers could be 850.
