What is different about factoring with a common factor and factoring by the greatest common factor?
When you divide 2 or more numbers by a common factor which is not the greatest common factor, they will still have a common factor which is greater than 1. When you divide them by their greatest common factor, the quotients are coprime - that is, they no longer have a factor in common other than 1.
Why cant you use 1 as a factor in a factor tree?
Factor trees are intended to find prime factors, one isn't prime. The process of factoring is intended to break down the number. Since factoring out one still leaves the original number, it isn't useful.
