Concerning the integers, non-trivial factors are factors that are not the original integer or 1. For example, the non-trivial factors of 8 are 2 and 4, and the nontrivial factors of 36 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, and 18. Prime numbers and 1 do not have any non-trivial factors.

Non-trivial may also refer to a proof or theorem which is not obvious or simple to prove.

Non-trivial factors are factors other than 1 and the number itself. For example, non-trivial factors of 20 are 2, 4, 5, and 10, as they divide evenly into 20.
