Proper factors are all the factors of a number except the number itself. To find the factors of a number, start with 1 and list the factor pairs of the number. For example, the factor pairs of 18 are:
1 x 18
2 x 9
3 x 6
The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.
The proper factors are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9.
Once you have the prime factorization, it is much easier to find the factors, the proper factors, the GCF and LCM.
No. Some proper factors are prime.
From the list of regular factors, delete one and the number itself.
No, no prime number has proper factors.
One has no proper factors.
1 doesn't have proper factors.

Prime numbers don't have proper factors.
The proper factors of 35 are 5 and 7.
The proper factors of 26 are 2 and 13
