Answer:

1.) A prime factor is any prime number that can be multiplied to give the original number.

For example, the prime factor of 24 is:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.

2.) A prime factor is a natural number, other than 1, whose only factors are 1 and itself. The first few prime numbers are actually 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and so on.

Explanation:

You're welcome.
