"Few" by itself is an adjective, applicable only to plural nouns, and generally meaning a small fraction of some stated or implicit total, but not necessarily a small number if referred to a large class. In the phrase "a few", which should be written as two words, if not followed soon after with a noun, "few" is a noun meaning a small number. If "a few" is closely followed by a noun, the phrase is an adjective, also meaning a small number in the adjectival sense of number.
Example as an adjective: "Few modern Muslims and even fewer modern Christians actively seek martyrdom." There are news stories every week about Muslim suicide bombers, probably amounting to perhaps a few hundred per year. A few hundred would not normally be considered a small number, but it is a very small fraction of the many hundreds of millions of Muslims in the world.
Example as a simple noun (two successive speakers): "How many dollars do you have?" "Only a few now, but I expect to get many more later today."
Example as an adjective phrase: "There are only a few legally acceptable excuses for killing another person. The most common one in civil society is self-defense."
"Far" is used to indicate a long distance or extent, while "few" is used to indicate a small number or amount. For example, "The store is far from my house" and "There are few people at the party."
"A little" applies to portions of entities regarded by the speaker or writer as continuous, while "a few" applies to entities regarded by the speaker as divided into discrete units. Examples: Drink a little milk. Drink a few of those small cartons of milk that you have in your refrigerator. Buy a little lemon juice. Buy a few lemons. This checkout line is for customers with only a few items. This wholesaler specializes in customers who want only a little wheat.
