Dear student

Proper divisor. Aproper divisorof a positive integer is anydivisorof other than itself. Thus, prime numbers have exactly oneproper divisor, 1, and every other number has at least twoproper divisors

for nuumber 2-> 1,2 are divisors
but proper divisor is only 1 and NOT 2 (or the number itself in consideration here 2)

I hope it is cleared now

Regards and keep posting
