Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that can only be divided by 1 and themselves without leaving a remainder. Prime factors of a number are its factors that are prime numbers themselves. To find the prime factors of a number, one can use a prime factor tree by repeatedly dividing the number by its prime factors until only prime numbers remain. For example, the prime factors of 60 are 2, 2, 3, and 5.

Prime Factor
A prime number is a number greater than 1 with only two factors themselves and 1. A prime number cannot be divided by any other numbers without leaving a remainder An example of a prime number is 13.
Prime factors are factors of a number that are, themselves, prime numbers. There are many methods to find the prime factors of a number, but one of the most common is to use a prime factor tree. For example 60 You do what two numbers times to give 60 and 2 and 30 - you will circle the 2 because it is a prime number then you find 2 numbers timed. Together that give 30. 6 and 5 you will circle 5 then you find 2 numbers that give 6 lke 3 and 2 then you circle them both
1 can only be divided by one number, 1 itself, so with this definition 1 is not a prime number It is important to remember that mathematical definitions develop and evolve Throughout history, many mathematicians considered 1 to be a prime number although that is not now a commonly held view.
