It is a composite number which is a multiple of two different factors, each greater than 1.

The name derives from the fact that a rectangle (or oblong) whose sides are those two numbers will have an area equal to the oblong number. If there were no requirement that the two numbers are greater than 1 then every number would be an oblong number.
