What 15 is made of

Every common factor 15 can share with anything comes from this list, which is why the pairs below look the way they do. 15 = 3 × 5, and that factorisation is unique — the fundamental theorem of arithmetic guarantees no other set of primes multiplies to it.

Divisors come in pairs that multiply to 15, which is why there is an even number of them unless the number is a perfect square. The greatest common factor of 15 and any other number is the largest entry two lists like this one share.
