Does a gas have very low compressibility?

Raising the pressure of a gas increases the fraction of its volume that is occupied by the gas molecules and makes the gas less compressible. At relatively low pressures, gas molecules have practically no attraction for one another because they are (on average) so far apart, and they behave almost like particles of an ideal gas.

What is the compressibility factor of an ideal gas?

“The compressibility factor (Z), also known as the compression factor or the gas deviation factor, is the ratio of the molar volume of a gas to the molar volume of an ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure. It is a useful thermodynamic property for modifying the ideal gas law to account for the real gas behavior.
