What number has only one factor tree?

Every composite number has its own unique tree, so I guess the answer is all numbers have one tree. Perhaps you meant one branch or one factor. Prime numbers only have two factors, one of them is prime, so if you try to do a factor tree with a prime number, it stops the second you write the number down. And then there's one. One only has one factor, so we won't even bother with a tree. We'll call it a factor twig.

What do you call a number whose GCF is one?

It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question so, mathematically, the question does not make sense. If, instead, you consider a number [positive integer] whose greatest common factor is one, then there is only one possibility and that is the number one. So you would call it ONE.


Why did mathematics decide to not call 1 a prime number?
