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.
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.
no because 6 is an even number and divisable by 2
The proper factors of 6 are 2 and 3. I suppose by process of elimination 1 and 6 would be the improper ones, but they are most often referred to as "trivial factors."
Good question. The short answer is "No," but there is some disagreement. Some people include 1, others do not. Part of the trouble comes from some countries that use the term "factor," others that use the term "divisor," and others which use them interchangeably. If I ruled the world, or even the math portion of it, here's what I would decree: A proper factor of a positive integer N is a factor of N other than 1 or N. For example, 2 and 3 are positive proper factors of 6, but 1 and 6 are not. Compare with the term proper divisor, which means a factor of N other than N (but including 1).
No.

A factor of a whole number n is any whole number, that when multiplied by another whole number, results in n. For example, 1, 2, 3, and 6 are factors of 6. 1 is a factor, because 1*6 = 6, 2 is a factor, since 2*3= 6, etc. Another way to say this is that a whole number is a factor of n if it divides n evenly.A proper factor of n is any factor that is not 1 or n. Using the example above, the proper factors of 6 are 2 and 3.
AnswerProper factors are just the same as normal factors except it doesn't count itself. For example the proper factor of 6 is 1,2,3Many people exclude 1 as a proper factor as well. In that case the definition is:A proper factor of a positive integer n is a factor of n other than 1 or nThere are a few factors in math. The factors of math are language, puzzles, games, quizzes and work sheets.

no because 6 is an even number and divisable by 2
The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42.The proper factors are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, and 21or 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, and 21 if the number 1 is excluded as it is in some definitions of proper factor.

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10 and 15. Some people do not consider 1 to be a proper factor.
Proper factors are all the factors of a number except the number itself. To find the factors of a number, start with 1 and list the factor pairs of the number. For example, the factor pairs of 18 are:1 x 182 x 93 x 6The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.The proper factors are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9.
1,2,3 and 6 are the factors of 6
6 has those factors.
