You need to Writ edown all the factors.. :)
Any number that has only two factors which are itself and one is a prime number.
The prime factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 The prime factors of 72 are 2 and 3. Prime factorizations may contain repeated factors. When you list the factors, you only need to list them once.
The list of prime numbers is infinite. There are two factors for each.
To find the prime and composite factors of a number, you can list the factor pairs. 92: 1 x 92 2 x 46 4 x 23 The prime factors are 2, 23. The composite factors are 4, 46, 92.
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.
You cannot list all the potential prime factors. Any prime number can be a prime factor. There are an infinite number of prime numbers, so there are an infinite number of potential prime factors. If given a specific number, the prime factors for it can be listed.
No difference. Once you've found the factors of a number, the prime numbers on that list are the prime factors.
List all the factors. Select the ones that are prime numbers.
Two.
Any number that has only two factors which are itself and one is a prime number.
Distinct prime factors are the prime factors that are distinct (or different) from each other. A list of distinct prime factors is a list of one of each different prime number that is a factor. For example, the prime factors of 8 are 2, 2, and 2. The only distinct prime factor is 2, which occurs multiple times.
The prime factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 The prime factors of 72 are 2 and 3. Prime factorizations may contain repeated factors. When you list the factors, you only need to list them once.
2, 3, and 5
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. A prime factor is a factor that is a prime number. A common prime factor is a prime factor that appears on the list of factors of two or more given numbers.

The prime factors of 40 are 2 and 5
