-243 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. It is not a Prime number.

The 12 factors of -243 are ±1, ±3, ±9, ±27, ±81, and ±243.

The prime factors of -243 are -1, 3, 3, 3, 3, and 3. Technically, -1 is not a prime factor (it is a unitary factor), but it is included here because the number is negative. Note: There is repetition of these factors, so if the prime factors are being listed instead of the prime factorization, usually only the distinct prime factors are listed.

The distinct prime factor (listing each prime factor only once) of -243 is 3.

The prime factorization of -243 is -1 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 or, in index form (in other words, using exponents), -1 x 35.

NOTE: There cannot be common factors, a greatest common factor, or a least common multiple because "common" refers to factors or multiples that two or more numbers have in common.
