LaoOh, dude, that's an easy one. A number with only one factor is called a prime number. It's like the VIP of numbers, only hanging out with itself because it's too cool for any other factors. So, yeah, prime numbers are the loners of the math world, but hey, they're still important.

What number has only one prime factor?
No prime number only has one factor. Each prime number has itself and 1 as factors. Now, the number 1 of course has only one factor, but it is technically not a prime number.
What is a number with the fewest number of factors?
1 has only one factor - itself.
What is the greatest common factor of 27 and 64?
The only common factor of 27 and 64 is one.
What number has only one factor tree?
Every composite number has its own unique tree, so I guess the answer is all numbers have one tree. Perhaps you meant one branch or one factor. Prime numbers only have two factors, one of them is prime, so if you try to do a factor tree with a prime number, it stops the second you write the number down. And then there's one. One only has one factor, so we won't even bother with a tree. We'll call it a factor twig.
What are the factors and prime factors of 103?
103 is a prime number. The only two factors of a prime number are 1 and itself. The only factor pair of 103 is 1 x 103. There is only one factor pair of a prime number. The proper factors of 103 are only 1 or, if the definition you are using excludes 1, there are none. The only prime factor of 103 is 103. There is only one prime factor of a prime number - itself. The distinct prime factor (listing each prime factor only once) of 103 is also 103.
