If the two circles are touching tangentially at one point then they have one point in common. If centers are C1 & C2 and radii are R1 & R2. then if distance C1C2 = R1+R2 then they have one point in common.

if 0< C1C2 < R1+R2 they are two points in common.
if C1C2 = 0 R1 = R2 then they have all the points in common. they are the same circle.
