Prime numbers have two factors. Prime squares have three factors. Square numbers have an odd number of factors but that number varies.
A prime number has exactly two factors: itself and 1.
29 is a prime number. Every prime number has two factors, one and the number itself.
The factors of 281 are: 1 281 (281 is a prime number)
Any prime number only has two factors: one and the number itself.

Prime factorization.
No. Prime factors are the numbers that make up other numbers, but they have to be prime. Prime factorisation is the process of finding the prime numbers that create a number. This is when you multiply the prime numbers together and the product is the original number. For example: 20 5x4 5x2x2 This process is called prime factorisation. In this case, the prime numbers are 2, 2, and 5.
Factor multiplication is the process of multiplying prime factors. The product of factor multiplication is the number that the prime factors are multipilicands of.
Prime factorization is the process of determining all of the prime factors of a given number. Prime factors are the prime numbers that when multiplied together give you the number to be factored. For example the prime factorization of 30 is 15 x 2
A whole number can be broken down into its prime factors through a process called prime factorization. This involves dividing the number by its smallest prime factor, then repeating the process with the quotient until all factors are prime. The resulting diagram would show the original whole number at the top, with lines connecting it to its prime factors and subsequent prime factors until all factors are prime.
To find the prime factors of any number then divide the number by prime numbers of increasing value. When a prime number wholly divides the original number repeat the process with the same prime number but each time with the new quotient until complete division does not occur. Repeat with a prime number of higher value until the final quotient is 1. Using this process gives the prime factors of 374 as 2, 11 and 17.
There is not such a thing as a composite prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. These are known as prime factors. The set of prime factors is a subset of the set of factors for any given number.
Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
Prime numbers have as factors the number 1 and their own number. Example: 37 is a prime number because its only factors are "1" and "37". If the prime number had further factors, it would no longer be prime.
Whether a number is a prime number or not is determined by its factors. It is a prime number if its only factors are 1 and itself.
