Is One A Prime Number?

No. One is a unit: it has only one positive divisor, while a prime must have exactly two.

Can It Factor Negative Numbers?

Yes. The result includes negative one followed by the prime factors of the absolute value.

What Is the Prime Factorization & Number Theory Calculator?

The Number Theory Calculator accepts a set of non-zero integers and reports whether each is prime, composite or a unit, lists every prime factor, and calculates the greatest common factor and least common multiple across the set.

How It Works

Enter whole numbers separated by commas or spaces. The common factors and per-number classifications update immediately. Very large least common multiples are suppressed when they exceed JavaScript's exact safe-integer range.

When to Use It

Use it for simplifying fractions, finding common denominators, checking divisibility, studying primes or verifying factorization exercises.
