They are different prime factors of a number, as opposed to repeated factors.
For example, the prime factorisation of 12 is 2*2*3. The distinct primes of 12 are 2 and 3.

What is a distinct odd prime?
When a factor of a number is composed of distinct primes, all the odd primes are raised to a power of 1, while the only even number which is 2 can be raised to any power. For example, the factor of 2134346 is 2*19*56167 Here all the primes are distinct primes.
What number is neither prime or the sum of two distinct primes?
One.
What is the smallest composite number that has 3 distinct prime factors?
Distinct would mean they are all different, so take the 3 lowest primes and multiply them: 2*3*5 = 30
Are 29 and 31 twin primes?
Yes, 29 and 31 are twin primes.Explanation:A pair of primes that differ by 2 are called twin primes.29 and 31 both are primes and their difference is 31-29 = 2. So, the given pair of primes is twin primes.
Are 191 and 193 twin primes and why?
As the primes when subtracted leave a difference of 2,they are said to be twin primes.

What number is neither prime or the sum of two distinct primes?
One.
A number that is neither prime nor the sum of 2 distinct primes?
One
If told that 'q' 'p' and 'r' are distinct primes and that there exists 'n' such that 'n equals p x q x r' How many positive factors of 'n' are there and How do you determine what they are?
If p, q and r are distinct primes and n=pxqxr then n will have 8 factors, all of which will be positive since prime numbers are all positive, which are: n(pqr), pq, pr, qr, p, q, r and 1. Here there were 3 distinct primes so the number of positive factors is 2^3. In general if you had p distinct primes then you would have 2^p positive factors.
How many primes factors does the number 189 have?
Two distinct prime factors, four altogether.
What is the smallest composite number that has 3 distinct prime factors?
Distinct would mean they are all different, so take the 3 lowest primes and multiply them: 2*3*5 = 30
What is the GCF and LCM of the following numbers where p q and r are distinct primes?
The GCF is 1. The LCM is p x q x r.
Which two prime numbers are factors of 4?
2 and 2. Prime factors needn't be distinct. Powers of the primes have only this prime as factor and 4 is a power of 2.
What is the birth name of Robert Primes?
Robert Primes's birth name is Robert Joseph Primes.
