ProfessorA prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A factor, on the other hand, is a number that can be multiplied to produce a given number. Therefore, a prime number can be considered a factor of itself, but not all factors are prime numbers. Factors can include both prime and composite numbers.
