Yes, a pair of numbers can have fewer than two common factors. This only happens when the numbers are co-prime -- that is, when the numbers have only one common factor. In that case, the common factor is always 1.

What pair of numbers is relatively prime 10 and 21 12 and 54 15 and 27 21 and 39?
I suggest factoring each pair of numbers, and checking whether they have, or don't have, common factors. A pair of numbers is said to be "relatively prime" if they have no common factors (their greatest common factor is 1). For larger numbers, Euclid's algorithm could be used, but for such small numbers, factoring is probably faster.
