The 6 factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, & 45.

The factor pairs of 45 are 1 x 45, 3 x 15, & 5 x 9.

The prime factorizations of 45 are 3 x 3 x 5 or, in index form 32 x 5.

There cannot be common factors, a least common multiple of a single number or a greatest common factor because "common" refers to factors or multiples that 2 or more numbers have in common.
