No, because 18 cannot have a factor greater than itself.

The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.

The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.

The greatest common factor of two numbers is the greatest whole number by which either number may be wholly divided; the factor and the result should be integers (whole numbers).

The greatest factor for any number is itself, as a higher factor would not result in an integer; no number may have a factor higher than itself.
No 18 is the greatest common factor
