The difference is between factor pairs and distinct factors. With square numbers, one of the factor pairs will be the same number twice. When listing the distinct factors, that number is only listed once.
Pairs of numbers whose sum is -14 and that are factors of -189 include -7 and -7, and -21 and 7.

17 has one factor pair, 1 and 17.
There are no real numbers with the sum of 4 and a product of -477. The factors of -477 are (1,-477), (3, -159) and (9, -53). The negatives can be switched to the other numbers in those pairs of factors.
420 has four prime factors. Prime factors don't usually travel in pairs.
The factors of all numbers can be written in pairs. With square numbers, one of those pairs is the same number twice. When listed singly, square numbers have an odd number of factors. All others are even.
Pairs of factors are basically two numbers repeatedly for one number, such as 1 &12 2&6 and so on.
Pairs of numbers.

The difference is between factor pairs and distinct factors. With square numbers, one of the factor pairs will be the same number twice. When listing the distinct factors, that number is only listed once.
All numbers have factors. It is possible to list them as pairs. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. The factor pairs of 12 are (12,1)(6,2)(4,3)
The prime factors of 24 are 2 and 3
The prime factors of 333 are 3,3 and 37 Thus the pairs of whole numbers that go into 333 are: 1 and 333 3 and 111 9 and 37 There are 3 pairs.
You have to multiply something by something else to get a product. All numbers have factors in pairs.
3 pairs of factors. They are: 1 and 20 2 and 10 4 and 5 Pairs of factors are numbers that you multiply together to make that number, e.g. 4x5=20. Trust me I'm a teacher!
When a number has no common factors with another, they are called coprime, and an infinite number of such pairs exist. They include any pair involving a prime number, but also such pairs as 12 and 25. It is a simple matter of the two numbers not having any common factors; there is no complicated technical description or proof required.
