All non-zero whole numbers have factors. When you compare the lists of factors between two or more numbers, there will be numbers that are the same on both lists. Those are the common factors.

All numbers have factors. Some numbers have some of the same factors as other numbers. These are known as common factors. The largest of these is known as the greatest common factor, or GCF.

All factors are whole numbers and all whole numbers are rational numbers (a rational number is one which can be expressed as one integer over another integer, and whole numbers can be expressed as themselves over 1), thus all factors are rational numbers and so all greatest common factors are rational numbers. The set of whole numbers is a [proper] subset of the set of rational numbers: ℤ ⊂ ℚ
It is: 12.5 but common factors are normally whole numbers

Factors refer to whole numbers, not fractions.
All factors are whole numbers and all whole numbers are rational numbers (a rational number is one which can be expressed as one integer over another integer, and whole numbers can be expressed as themselves over 1), thus all factors are rational numbers and so all greatest common factors are rational numbers. The set of whole numbers is a [proper] subset of the set of rational numbers: ℤ ⊂ ℚ
The least (meaning lowest) common factor of any set of whole numbers is always 1. The greatest common factor of any set of whole numbers will depend on the factors of the individual whole numbers in the set.
It is: 12.5 but common factors are normally whole numbers
All nonzero numbers have factors. Some numbers have some of the same factors as other numbers. These are called common factors. Some factors are positive numbers. Common factors which are positive numbers would be called positive common factors.
Factors must be whole numbers, not decimals.
