... Given positive integers m and n, we say that m is a factor of n provided n = mq for some positive integer q. In particular, n is a factor of itself, since n = n · 1. If m is a factor of n and m < n, then m is called a proper factor of n. For example, the proper factors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3, and the ...
