According to Cantor, the set of factors has a smallest element, 1, and the set of necessary factors has a smallest element, 6, or if double application is not allowed, 4.

4 is not necessary because it is smaller than 6, and 6 is sufficient.

 But then your "necessary" has a application order, which the word doesn't have.
