The sum of the factors of 2^16 - 1 = 65535 is 299.
78
That depends on where you start and in what direction you proceed. If you list the prime factors in the order from smallest to largest, then the first two are 2 and 3, and their sum is 5.
42 has three prime factors: 2, 3 and 7
Mostly yes, but not always.
2 and 2. Prime factors needn't be distinct. Powers of the primes have only this prime as factor and 4 is a power of 2.
Prime numbers have two factors. The sum of their proper divisors is always 1.

Prime numbers have only two factors which are themselves and one and they add up in the same way as composite numbers which have more than two factors
If you multiply two prime numbers, the product (result) will be a composite number, not a prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. The product of two prime numbers will have those two numbers as factors, as well. The sum of two prime numbers might be prime if one of those two numbers is 2, the only even prime number, but otherwise it will not be a prime because two odd numbers will have an even sum, which means it is divisible by 2. Examples: 2 + 3 = 5 (prime) 3 + 7 = 10 (not prime) 13 + 17 = 30 (not prime) If you multiply two prime numbers, the sum of the digits of the product might or might not be prime. Examples: 2 x 7 = 14, sum of digits is 5 (prime) 2 x 11 = 22, sum of digits is 4 (not prime) 3 x 5 = 15, sum of digits is 6 (not prime) 3 x 7 = 21, sum of digits is 3 (prime) 5 x 7 = 35, sum of digits is 8 (prime)
