Distinct prime factors are the prime factors that are distinct (or different) from each other. A list of distinct prime factors is a list of one of each different prime number that is a factor. For example, the prime factors of 8 are 2, 2, and 2. The only distinct prime factor is 2, which occurs multiple times.
12 is a composite number, not a prime factor.
The prime factors of 12 are 2 and 3. The only prime factor of 27 is 3. The prime number that both 12 and 27 have as a factor is 3.
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.
