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)!

All prime numbers have exactly two factors. There is not a prime number below 50 that has the most factors since they all have the same number of factors.

All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. These are known as prime factors. The set of prime factors is a subset of the set of factors for any given number.

A prime number only has two factors. If the number you're looking at has more than two factors, it is not prime.
