40 and 21 have no common prime factors
Even numbers.
An HCF is the product of any common prime factors of two numbers. If two numbers have no common prime factors, then the HCF will be 1. For example, 10 and 21. The prime factors are 2x5 and 3x7. There is nothing in common, and so the HCF of 10 and 21 is 1. Two consecutive numbers will always have the HCF of 1.
No. If two numbers are coprime, they must have no common factors.
There cannot be a greatest common factor of just one number. To be common there need to be at least two numbers. If you find all the factors of two or more numbers, and you find some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.
It is not possible to find common factors for a single number. You need two or more numbers.
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. Common factors and the greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factors that are COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!

Common factors are factors that are the same for two or more numbers.
The factors of the prime number 5 are 1 and 5. It does not have a common factor because a common factor is only possible if you have two or more numbers.
600 and 900,000 are two possible answers. One thing that they have in common is that they are both divisible by 2, 3 and 5.
The greatest of the common factors of two or more numbers is the GCF

No. Two numbers are relatively prime if they have no prime factors in common. Two even numbers will have 2 as a prime factor in common.
They are called common factors when they are the same for two or more numbers. They are factors that are common to both number.
"Common" means "same for both". There is nothing 'common' about a single item, and a single number has no 'common' factors. Common factors are only possible when there are at least two numbers.
There is neither a greatest common factor nor common factors of a single number, such as 26, 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 greatest common factor is the largest factor that all the numbers being compared have in common. Thus, since there are not two or more numbers to compare, there are neither common factors nor a greatest common factor.
