A factor of a integer is an integer that divides the second integer into a third integer exactly; i.e. A is a factor of B if B/A is exactly C, where all of A, B and C are integers. A prime factor is a factor as above, but is also a Prime number. This means that the only factors of that factor are one and the number itself; i.e. A is a prime factor of B if B/A is exactly C andthe only factors of A are 1 and A.
