' 1 ' and itself.
Every number greater than 1 has the two factors 1 and the number itself.
Every positive integer greater than 1 can be expressed as the product of a unique set of prime factors. The count of these factors is the prime factors number for the number.
2 factors, but a prime number has only two factors (itself and one). Note that 1 is not considered to be a prime number.
No, square numbers have an odd number of factors.
No. They have different number of factors
But you do know the factors of prime numbers. Every prime number has two factors: one and the number itself.
There are an infinite amount of numbers greater than two that are composite numbers. Every even number, for instance, is a composite number
The concept of factors makes sense in the context of whole numbers. In the context of other numbers, every number is divisible by every non-zero number.
Every product of two prime numbers has four factors.
Every number greater than 1 has 1 and the number itself as factors. If it has no other factors besides these two factors, it is a prime number. If it has more factors than 1 and itself, it is a composite number.
52 is a composite number because it has factors in addition to (52 & 1). If a number has only the two factors (itself and 1) then it is prime. Every whole number greater than 1 will have at least those two factors. The number 1 has only one factor (1). Numbers that have more than two factors are called composite numbers.
1 and the number itself. They are factors of every number. ex. 1 and 2 are factors of 2. Just as 1 and 71 are factors of 71.
