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 give a sensible answer to this question. The highest common factor (HCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!

You need at least two numbers to find a GCF. IF that's 14 and 40, the GCF is 2.
