Notes:
gollark: It would be annoying and inconsistent if it was 0. It's 1.
gollark: It's 1, or the nice neat recursive factorial calculation algorithms would stop working.
gollark: It's not an example, this seems to be true in all cases.
gollark: Oh, they said they don't need to be different, so square numbers are fine I guess.
gollark: I mean, you know it has 2 as a factor, and you know it divided by 2 isn't prime, implying it must have multiple prime factors (actually, *is* that the case given square numbers' existence? hmmm.)
