common factors
Some numbers have two factors. These are called prime. Some numbers have more than two factors. These are called composite.
If it has exactly two factors, it's called a 'prime' number.If it has more than two factors, it's called a 'composite' number.
The two (or more) numbers that you multiply are called factors. (The result of the multiplication is called the product.)
They are called common factors when they are the same for two or more numbers. They are factors that are common to both number.
A COMPOUND number. e.g. 24 , 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24 are all factors of '24'. NB A number that has no factors is a PRIME Number. e.g. 3,5,7,
Two of the same numbers that can be multipied and make a number example: the square root of 100 is 10 because 10 multipied by 10 = 100
