The four factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.

The factor pairs of 6 are 1 x 6 and 2 x 3.

The proper factors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3 or,
if the definition you are using excludes 1, they are 2 and 3.

The prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3.

The 2 distinct prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3.

NOTE: 6 is also a perfect number because the sum of its proper factors (the definition including 1) equals itself: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.

NOTE: There cannot be common factors, a greatest common factor, or a least common multiple because "common" refers to factors or multiples that two or more numbers have in common.
