1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
16=2*2*2*2 There is only one distinct prime factor, that is 2.
There are really only three distinct factor pairs:(16, 1) (8, 2)(4, 4)I suppose if you count (1,16) and (2,8) as being different from (16, 1) and (8,2), you could end up with as many as five factor pairs.
Prime numbers have one distinct prime factor.
Not necessarily. (6,6) is a factor pair of 36, but only one of the sixes is a distinct factor of 36.
Distinct means separate. Sometimes, as in the case of square numbers, factors are repeated. The factor pairs of 16 are (16,1)(8,2)(4,4) The distinct factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 The same is true of prime factors. The prime factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. The distinct prime factors of 36 are 2 and 3.
It can be. 48 is a factor of 96.
It is a square of that factor. E.g. 5 is a distinct factor of 25. If you multiply that distinct factor by itself (5*5) you get 25. A square comes from the x^2 notation and is any number which has a factor which is multiplied by itself.

That just means "don't repeat any." 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 is the prime factorization of 36. 2 and 3 are the distinct prime factors. (16,1)(8,2)(4,4) are the factor pairs of 16 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 are the distinct factors.
1 and 11
16 is not a factor of 36.
