A factor can or cannot be a prime number Ex: 2 is the factor of all other even numbers its a prime number but 9 is a factor of 18 and its not a prime number A prime is a factor but a factor being a prime number varies
Suppose you have a number N and you want to find its largest prime factor. It is probably easiest to start at the bottom.Find the smallest prime factor, p.Find its factor pair = N/p.If the second number (= N/p) is a prime, then it is the largest prime factor.if not, replace N by N/p and go back to the top.
Except in this case, the largest square factor is 1.
13 is a prime number. The only prime factor of a prime number is the number itself.
what number is not a prime factor
That's a prime factor.
A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
A prime number has only one prime factor, and that prime factor is the number itself.
2 is a prime number because its only factors are one and itself. Since 2 is a prime number, if it is a factor of your number, it is a prime factor.
No prime number only has one factor. Each prime number has itself and 1 as factors. Now, the number 1 of course has only one factor, but it is technically not a prime number.
prime factor = prime number which can be divided into the given number with no remainder ie 2
prime number : 6.5 factor: 13, 3,
