Basically, a factors of a larger number are the factors which theoretically 'make up' the number. Factors are the prime numbers when multiplied together, give the final product.

e.g.

2x2x2x2x2 are the prime factors of 32 as 2 (prime) is the simplest form.

However, when the number for example is 7, there is only one factor as 7 is a Prime number itself.
