No 1 it is not a prime number. The definition of a prime number is that it can only have factors of one and itself. Since one already has one then it can not be a prime number.
It is 1 which is neither a prime nor a composite number
prime * * * * * No, the only number with just one factor is 1. Each prime has TWO factors: 1 and the prime itself.
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.
2 is a prime number because its only factors are one and itself. Since 2 is a prime number, if it is a factor of your number, it is a prime factor.
No, a prime factor is a single factor that is a prime number. A proper factor is a member of the set of factors that doesn't include one and the number itself.

If a number is not prime- that is, if a number has a positive factor besides one and itself- it is a composite number.

No. A prime number is one that has no factors except the number '1' and itself.
Squares (or cubes or more) of prime numbers have one distinct prime factor, but if you're counting them individually, all composite numbers have at least two prime factors.
The answer depends on whether or not the prime number is a factor of the other number.If the prime number is a factor of the other number then the GCF is the prime, otherwise the GCF is 1.
The only number with one factor is 1.
