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 6, 9, 15, and 18 is 3.

What is the least common factor 0f 9 12 and 18?
The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
What is are the least common factors for 9 12 18?
The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
Why is the greatest common factor of 18 and 48 not 12?
Because 12 isn't a factor of 18.
The Least Common Factor of 18 and 24?
6 is the greatest common factor. 1 is always the least common factor, I am pretty sure you mean the GCF, not the LCF. Look at factors of 18. 18 itself is not a factor of 24, neither is 9 the next factor, but 6 is a factor of both. Nobody really cares about Least common factors, since it is always the same. There is least common multiple? In case you want the LCM, the least common multiple of two numbers is the product divided by the GCF, so is 18 * 24 / 6 = 72
What is the least common factor of 18 and 3?
The LCF is 1. The GCF is 3. The LCM is 18.
