: From which we see that 1 will always divide an integer without remainder. I make a point about mentioning 1 as a reference stated that sometimes the same term "proper divisors" is used when 1 is excluded. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 18:25, 16 December 2014 (UTC) |
