All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. These are known as prime factors. The set of prime factors is a subset of the set of factors for any given number.
The difference is one.
The difference is that a prime number only has two factors that's one and itself, a composite has more factors than one and itself.
a prime number has only 2 factors, 1 and itself while a compiste number has more than 2 factors
Factors aren't necessarily prime.
A factor string consists of any factors (except 1) that multiply to equal the number. Prime factorization consists of only prime numbers that multiply to equal the number. In the case where the factors of the original number consists only of primes, there is no difference.
Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
No difference. Once you've found the factors of a number, the prime numbers on that list are the prime factors.
The difference is one.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are not.
Prime factors are factors that are prime. For example, 13 is a prime number and 13 is a factor of 26. So that means 13 is a prime factor.
The difference is that a prime number only has two factors that's one and itself, a composite has more factors than one and itself.
A prime only has two factors, itself and one, whereas a composite number has three or more factors.
A prime number has only 2 factors which are itself and one whereas a composite number has more than 2 factors
a prime number has only 2 factors, 1 and itself while a compiste number has more than 2 factors
The difference between the prime factors of 50 is 3.
Factors aren't necessarily prime.
A prime number is a positive integer with two factors: one and the number itself. A composite number is a positive integer with more than two factors.
