Answer:

A whole number is any positive integer greater than zero and is not a fraction or a decimal. Any whole number can be divided by itself and one so therefor all pairs of whole numbers have a GCF of one. However the bigger the number the more factors it can have so the GCF of a pair of whole numbers may have a greater GCF than 1.
