It's not necessary.
Factors can be listed as factor pairs. With square numbers, one of those pairs will be the same number twice. When written as a list, only one of them will be used, leaving an odd number of factors.
Yes but,2and 1 are the only numbers that go in different factors.
The factors of all numbers can be written in pairs. With square numbers, one of those pairs is the same number twice. When listed singly, square numbers have an odd number of factors. All others are even.
Example: GCF of 6 and 12= 2 Example 2: GCF of 54 and 6=9 List all the factors of the numbers you use, then if the numbers you have when you list the factors have the same number in both sets of numbers, that is your GCF
"Distinct" in this case means different. Sometimes factors are repeated. Square numbers have a factor pair that is the same number twice. When we write out the list of numbers, we don't write that number twice. The factor pairs of 100 are (100,1)(50,2)(25,4)(20,5)(10,10) The distinct factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
All numbers can be broken down into factor pairs. No matter how many pairs there are, it's an even number of factors. Squares have a factor pair that consists of the same number twice. When you list them, you list the number once.
One factor pair of square numbers would be the same number twice. When you list them, you only write it once.
All numbers have factors. Some numbers have some of the same factors as other numbers. These are known as common factors. Specific sets of numbers will have specific lists of common factors. The largest number on the list of common factors is the greatest common factor, or GCF. It is the largest number that will divide evenly with no remainder into a set of given numbers.

Common factors are factors that are the same for two or more numbers.
