Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
A composite number has more than two factors whereas a prime number has only two factors
1 is the only number between 1 and 100 that has too few factors to be a prime number.
A prime number is a positive integer that has exactly two different factors: 1 and itself. This is why 1 is not a prime number: it has the factors 1 and itself, but they are the same - it does not have exactly two different factors.
a prime number
Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
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.
No difference. Once you've found the factors of a number, the prime numbers on that list are the prime factors.
A prime number has only two factors, one and the number itself. A composite number has more than two factors. Factors can be either prime or composite.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite numbers, one is neither. When finding the factors of a number, you find all the factors. The prime factorization is a multiplication string of just prime factors that will total the given number.
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
2 x 3 x 5 = 30
Since there are an infinite number of prime numbers, there are infinite numbers with any given number of prime factors.
Logically, the smallest number with 4 different prime factors would have to be the product of the smallest four prime numbers. So the smallest natural number with four different prime factors is 210 (2*3*5*7).

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.
1 is the only number between 1 and 100 that has too few factors to be a prime number.
