Once you clearly know what the factor of a number is, you are fully ready to study the properties of factors. There are five natural properties of factors in mathematics and you should know every one of them clearly. So, let’s start learning each property of factors of a number with understandable arithmetic examples.
The number $1$ is a factor of every number.
Every natural number is a factor of itself.
Except $1$, all natural numbers have at least two factors.
The factor of a number is always less than or equal to the given number.
The number of factors of a number is always finite.
