They're different words for the same thing. When you're multiplying, you call them factors. When you're dividing, you call them divisors.

A set of common factors can contain both prime and composite numbers. Common prime factors are merely common factors that happen to be prime.

They're essentially the same thing. Factors multiply with each other to create a number, divisors go into a number evenly.

When you're dividing, you call them divisors and when you're multiplying you call them factors, but they're just different words for the same thing.

No difference. We frequently use factor when we multiply and divisor when we divide, but they're essentially the same thing.
