Difference between a factor and a proper factor?
A factor of a whole number n is any whole number, that when multiplied by another whole number, results in n. For example, 1, 2, 3, and 6 are factors of 6. 1 is a factor, because 1*6 = 6, 2 is a factor, since 2*3= 6, etc. Another way to say this is that a whole number is a factor of n if it divides n evenly.A proper factor of n is any factor that is not 1 or n. Using the example above, the proper factors of 6 are 2 and 3.
Why does every number have 1 as a proper factor?
Every number has one as a factor because one can divide into any number with no remainder. Every number does not have one as a proper factor because the set of proper factors does not contain one and the number itself.
