Factors of 4:

1, 2, 4

3 factors · 4 = 2² · composite

Underlined — prime: 2 · 1 — neither prime nor composite · others — composite

Factor pairs of 4

2 pairs: 1 × 4 · 2 × 2

2 × 2 is a pair of one factor — that is why 4 has an odd number of factors, 3.

4 = 2² → (2 + 1) = 3 factors: add 1 to each exponent and multiply.
