Is there a difference between divisor or factor of an integer?

I don't think so:

@fresh_42 would have a deeper insight here.

no difference to me.

I don't think so:

I agree.

For an integer N, if m is a divisor, m is also a factor.

If m | N (i.e., m divides N), then there is an integer p such that M = m * p. Clearly both m and p are factors of N.

This is what I thought but have found conflicting info on the internet. Thanks.
