Solution

(i) Factors of 18 are 1,2, 3,6, 9 and 18.
Factors of 39 are 1, 3, 13 and 39.
Therefore, common factors of 18 and 39 are 1 and 3.
Highest common factor among the 1 and 3 is 3.

(ii) Sum of all the common factors is 1 + 3 = 4
Factors of 4 are 1, 2 and 4
Therefore, 4 is a composite number as it has more than 2 factors.
