$1$ is the factor of one.
The number $1$ is a natural number and let’s factorize it to find its factors. So, let’s start the process of factorisation by dividing the real number $1$.
Firstly, divide the number one by the same number.
$1 \div 1$
$\implies$ $\dfrac{1}{1} \,=\, 1$
The number $1$ divides $1$ completely. So, the quotient of $1$ divided by $1$ is equal to $1$ and the natural number $1$ is written as the product of $1$ and $1$.
$\,\,\,\therefore\,\,\,\,\,\,$ $1 \times 1 \,=\, 1$
Therefore, it clears that the number $1$ is a factor of itself.
The factors of 1 is denoted by F subscript to 1 algebraically in mathematics.
$F_1 \,=\, \{1\}$
