Short answer: There is none.

There is not a least common factor of a single number, such as 120, because there cannot be any form of common factor without two or more numbers to compare. Common factors are factors that the numbers being compared have in common. The least common factor is the smallest factor that all the numbers being compared have in common. Thus, since there are not two or more numbers to compare, there is not a least common factor.

Note: The least common factor of two or more positive integers is 1.

The least common factor is a term often mistakenly given to either the greatest common factor (GCF) or the least common multiple (LCM). This term is not often used because it does not describe a useful relationship between numbers. Since 1 evenly divides all integers, 1 is technically the least common factor for any set of integers.

The smallest non-one common factor of 120 and 160 is 2.

I think you might mean "the greatest common factor" (GCF) of 80 and 120, which is 40. If you were to say the LEAST common factor of any two numbers then it would be one.

You need at least two numbers to compare in order to find a least common multiple.
