No, prime numbers do not have proper factors.
What are the proper factors of the number one?
In the context of primes and factoriation, every counting number is a factor.
What is the greatest common factor of 3 4 and 6?
4 3 and 6 have no proper factor in common. Remember that 1 is a factor of every counting number, but not a proper factor of any of them. Greatest common factor questions do not recognise 1 as a proper factor. When talking of primes neither 1 nor the number itself is regarded as a proper factor.
Why does every number have 1 as a proper factor?
Every number has one as a factor because one can divide into any number with no remainder. Every number does not have one as a proper factor because the set of proper factors does not contain one and the number itself.
