Understanding Factors, Prime, and Composite Numbers

This video tutorial introduces factors, explaining how to determine the factors of a natural number. It defines prime and composite numbers, providing examples for each. The video demonstrates finding factors for numbers like 15, 24, 54, and 120, and explains the concept of prime numbers using 23 as an example. It concludes with a summary of prime and composite numbers, noting that the number one is neither.
