A factor is a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression. Some factors are prime, some are composite (the number "1" is neither.) A composite factor is a factor that can be divided further. 8 is a composite factor of 24. 3 is a prime factor of 24.

By looking at its factor patterns.
There is neither a greatest common factor nor common factors of a single number, such as 128, because there cannot be any form of common factor without two or more numbers to compare. Common factors are factors that the numbers being compared have in common. The greatest common factor is the largest factor that all the numbers being compared have in common. Thus, since there are not two or more numbers to compare, there are neither common factors nor a greatest common factor.

Every number has at least one factor, the number 1.Every number greater than 1 has at least two factors, 1 and itself.Any number with exactly 2 factors is prime.Any number with more than 2 factors is composite; in this case it can be factorised completely into primes.The number 1 has only one factor. It is therefore neither prime nor composite.
Start looking for factors; you already know that 1 is a factor, and that the number itself is a second factor (unless the number is 1). As soon as you find a factor that is neither 1 nor the number itself, the number is composite. If you find exactly two factors, the number is prime. If the number has only one factor, the number is 1, which is neither prime nor composite.

There is no such number. All numbers have a common factor of 1, which is neither prime nor composite. Any composite number can be reduced to its prime factors.
Prime numbers have only 2 factors, 1 and itself. Composite numbers have 3 or more factors. 1 has only 1 factor, so it is neither a prime number or a composite number.
If the number 1 is considered a factor, then these are the prime numbers. Their only factors are 1 and themselves.
The factors of 20 are: 1,2,4,5,10,20 So; 4 and 10 are the even factors of 20 which are greater than 3.
The number 0 has no factors and the number 1 only has one factor which is 1.
No prime number greater than 2 has 2 as a factor. A prime number has only two factors, 1 and the number itself. All prime numbers have 1 as a common factor. Numbers with any number besides 1 as common factors are composite numbers.
You cannot have a common factor with only one number. You must have at least 2 to compare the factors.
