All nonzero numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. 5 is a prime factor of 10.

∙ 2012-09-11 03:06:43You can think of a factor as a number that divides another number with no remainder. For example, 3 is a factor of 6 since 3 goes into 6 two times with no remainder. Now if the factor is prime, then it is a prime factor. So in the example above, 3 is a prime factor. This is because the factor itself has only two factors, 1 and itself. 6 goes into itself also, but since 6 is not prime, it is not a prime factor. Now that you understand it, here is a more precise definition. A prime factor is a factor that is a prime number. In other words, one of the prime numbers that, when multiplied, give the original number.
The number 1 is the only common factor of co-prime numbers, which is what makes them co-prime. 9 and 10 for example or 15 and 23.
1 and 3 its a prime number

35 can be a factor, but it is not prime.
Prime factors are factors that are prime. For example, 13 is a prime number and 13 is a factor of 26. So that means 13 is a prime factor.

Five is one example.

1 and 3 its a prime number
The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1, and 1 does not have a prime factorization.
a factor is a factor , a prime number is a prime number, but a prime factor is a factor which is a prime number. it has to depend on what number number. exp 13 is a prime number
No they are not.Two numbers are relatively prime if their greatest common factor is 1.For example, 8 and 15 are relatively prime.
Yes it's a factor of 28 for example and it's a prime number
It is a factor of 132, not a prime factor.
Yes. Any time three is a factor, it is a prime factor.
Example: 210 210 105,2 35,3,2 7,5,3,2
