A prime number is a number with just two distinct positive integer factors - the number itself, and 1. For example, 7 is prime, but 9 is not.
Distinct prime factors are the prime factors that are distinct (or different) from each other. A list of distinct prime factors is a list of one of each different prime number that is a factor. For example, the prime factors of 8 are 2, 2, and 2. The only distinct prime factor is 2, which occurs multiple times.
There are an infinite number of them. 8 has three prime factors, 30 is the first with three distinct prime factors.
A distinct odd prime is a prime number that is different from other prime numbers in a given set or context. In mathematics, a prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. So, a distinct odd prime would refer to a prime number that is both odd and unique within a specific set of prime numbers.
