An intriguing question. On the surface, it would seem that a thing and its opposite would not have anything in common but in mathematics, both factors and non-factors are numbers.
Any whole number (integer) has factors. Factors are numbers that can be divided into another number. For example the factors of 15 are: 1, 3, 5 and 15 (1 times 15 and 3 times 5)
That's an infinite list.
All numbers have factors. The factors that are positive numbers are known as positive factors.
Anywhere from 1 to an infinite number of factors. 1 has one factor. 9 has three factors. 84 has 12 factors. There is no limit.
