Multiplicand times multiplier equals product.
If you are talking about the number itself, they can be the same. To be specific: A prime number is a number that only has the factors 1 and itself. A factor is a number that when multiplied creates a product. A prime factor is a prime number that is multiplied to create a product.
Prime number
A number is called a factor when it can divide evenly into another number with no remainder. Integers only.
It is called unity.
There is no number that can only be multiplied by one.
The index or the exponent - but only if it is a non-negative integer.
They have a converse relationship. A factor is a number that divides into another, with no remainders. A multiple is something that can be multiplied by another number, to reach the original number that you had. Thus: Original number / a factor = a multiple Multiple * (the correct factor) = original number. "the correct factor", because most number have more than one factor. But only one factor * multiple will give the original number.
prime
The only number with a single factor is ' 1 '. Every other number has at least two factors: ' 1 ' and itself. A number with only those two factors and no others is called a "prime" number.
All numbers are a factor of another. Basically a factor is the number times a number which gets another number. Or.... 3 x 5= 15 The factors of 15 are 1,3,5,15; Theres no other explanation I can give ;)
prime * * * * * No, the only number with just one factor is 1. Each prime has TWO factors: 1 and the prime itself.
One is a special number because it is neither prime nor composite. It only has one factor, which is one. It can also be multiplied to any number to not change the product from the original number.
