a prime number
Because a prime number has two factors whereas 1 has only one factor which is itself
1
It is 1 because it only has itself as a factor.
The number ' 1 ' has only one factor.
a prime number
I call it 1.
Because a prime number has two factors whereas 1 has only one factor which is itself
1 has one 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.
It is 1 because it only has itself as a factor.
Only the number 1 is a factor of all other integers.
The number ' 1 ' has only one factor.
The only common factor of 11 and 175 is 1. 11 is a prime number, the only two factors are 1 and 11. Every single number has a factor of 1. 11 does not divide into 175, so the only common factor is 1.
The positive integer with only one factor is 1.
A factor of a number will divide that number evenly. A common factor is any factor which two numbers share. One of the numbers here is 1. The only number that can divide evenly in to is 1. Therefore, it doesn't matter what the other number is, the HCF can only be 1.
That describes a prime number.
