Proper factors occur when you list all the factors of a number except for 1 and the number itself. Common factors occur when you compare a minimum of two sets of factors and see which ones they share.

The factors of 6 are 1,2,3 and 6. The proper factors of 6 are 2 and 3. Factors of a number include the number itself and 1, proper factors don't include them.

A product is what you answer is if you're MULTIPLYING, and a factor is either dividing or adding.
