It is shown that the lower bounds for the number of common factors, established by Guttman 1954 and modified by Kaiser 1961, cannot decrease as the number of observed variates is increased. The result implies that the lower bounds cannot become weaker if the number of observed variates is increased and the number of factors remains constant.
