Hi...

Every integer can be expressed as the product of prime numbers (and these primes are it's factors).

Since we can multiply any integer by 2 to create a larger integer which can also be expressed as the product of primes, and this number has more prime factors than the last, we can always get a bigger number with more prime factors.

Therefore, there is no definable number with the most primes (much like there is no largest number)!
