Why is the set of factors of a number not the same as the set of proper factors of the number?
The set of factors includes one and the number itself. Proper factors do not include those two.
Will you get the same number of factors if you multiply a prime number and itself?
Prime numbers have two factors. Prime squares have three factors. Square numbers have an odd number of factors but that number varies.
What are concepts to finding the greatest common factor?
-- List all factors of the first number. -- List all factors of the second number. -- If there are more than two numbers, list all factors of each one. -- Find the set of factors that are on every list. -- Find the greatest factor in the set.
What number is also the sum of all its proper factors except itself?
That is one definition of the set of proper factors.
What number have the most factors?
That question doesn't have a definitive answer unless you're talking about a specific set of numbers. Since numbers don't stop, there will always be a number with more factors than the largest one you can think of.

The set of proper factors does not include 1 and the number itself.
Why is the set of factors of a number not the same as the set of proper factors?
The set of proper factors doesn't include 1 and the number itself.
Why is a set of factors of a number not the same as a set of proper factors of what number?
Proper factors don't include one and the number itself.
Why is the set of factors of a number not the same as the set of proper factors of the number?
The set of factors includes one and the number itself. Proper factors do not include those two.
Why is the set of factors of a number not the same as the proper factors of that number?
The proper factors of a number do not include one and the number itself.
Why is the set of factor of a number not the same as the set of proper factors of that number?
Depending on your definition of proper factors, the set of proper factor factors either doesn't include 1 and/or the number itself for a given number.
Why is the set of factors of a number not the same as the set of proper factors of that number?
Proper factors of a number do not include 1 or the number itself. For example, all of the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6, but the proper factors of 6 are 2 and 3.
Do the factors of a number differ depending on which factors you choose first?
No. You will always wind up with the same set.
Is there a limit to how many factors a certain number has?
Each number has a certain amount of factors. Other numbers may have the same amount of factors, but not the same exact factors. Since numbers don't stop, thee amount of factors doesn't stop either, but each number has a distinct set.
What is the difference between factors of a number and prime factors of a number?
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. These are known as prime factors. The set of prime factors is a subset of the set of factors for any given number.
What is a one digit number that has the same number of factors of the number six?
The one digit number that has the same number of factors as the number six is three. Six's factors are 1, 2, 3, and 6 while three's factors are 1 and 3. Therefore, both numbers have the same number of factors.
What Odd number with the same number of factors?
if you mean what is an odd number whose has the same number of factors as the number itself... then 1 will work.
