That is a poorly phrased question. Friction is a force resulting from molecular interactions between substances. It is numerically calculated using the formula F=μmg, where F is the force from friction, μ is the coefficient of friction, m is the mass of the object friction is affecting, and g is acceleration due to gravity. Thus the least frictional force possible approaches zero as either the coefficient approaches zero (think very smooth surface-like ice) or as the mass approaches zero.
