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.

Can the greatest common factor of 8 and 32 be greater than 8?
No.
What are the greater common factor of18 and 36?
The Greatest Common Factor depends upon the numbers for which there are common factors and it is the greatest one of them; it can be greater than 18, for example the greatest common factor of 40 and 100 is 20. The greatest common factor must be one of the factors of each of the numbers. As the factors of each number cannot be greater than that number, the greatest common factor of a set of numbers cannot be greater than the least number. If this number is not greater than 18 then the greatest common factor of the numbers cannot be greater than 18. Even if the least number is greater than 18 it is possible that the greatest common factor of a set of numbers is still not greater than 18, for example the greatest common factor of 20, 30 and 50 is 10.
Is the Greatest common factor a pair of numbers ever greater than both nbrrs?
No, it's never greater than the smallest number.
What is the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100?
When they have a factor in common greater than one.
What is the greatest common factor of two numbers that are both greater than 12 and less than 40 when the gcf is 12?
24 and 36
Is the Greatest common factor of a pair of numbers even greater than both numbers?
No, the greatest common factor is never greater than the smallest number. The greatest common factor is the largest integer that divides evenly into all of the numbers listed.
Can the greatest common factor of 18 and 36 be greater then 18explain?
No. No number can have a factor greater than itself.
Is the greatest common factor of 2 and 4 greater than 2?
No.

No.
Can the greatest common factor of 8 and 32 be greater than 8?
No.

No, the greatest common factor cannot be larger than any of the numbers in the set.

Can the greatest common factor of 9 and 27 be greater than 9?
no, then it would no longer be a factor of 9
What is the greatest common factor of 3 and 36?
First of all, there can't be two different things that are both "greatest". You only get one. 3 is a factor of 36, and 3 is also a factor of itself. So it must be the greatest common factor of 3 and 36. If there was a greater factor common to both 3 and 36, it would have to be greater than 3.
Is the Greatest Common Factor of two numbers greater than both numbers?
Yes it is.
What is the greatest common factor of 14 8 and 2?
The greatest common factor of 2, 8, and 14 is 2. The greatest common factor of any set of numbers can't be greater than the smallest of the numbers.
Can the greatest common factor of 2n plus 18 be greater than 18?
No, a factor cannot be larger than the numbers it is compared to.
