A prime number is a whole number that has only two distinct factors: 1 and the number itself. A composite number has at least three distinct factors.

Not two DISTINCT prime factors, no. For example, 64 = 2^6 only has prime factor 2. All even numbers which are not a power of 2 must have at least two distinct prime factors, however; one of them will, of course, be 2.
It is 27720.
3*5*7*9 = 945 ...check if any number less than that has exactly four distinct factors.

2 factors, but a prime number has only two factors (itself and one). Note that 1 is not considered to be a prime number.

Least or smallest natural number is 1.
at least three factors.
Not two DISTINCT prime factors, no. For example, 64 = 2^6 only has prime factor 2. All even numbers which are not a power of 2 must have at least two distinct prime factors, however; one of them will, of course, be 2.
the answer is 264 Prime Factorizations 33=3*11 (2 distinct prime factors) 8=23 (3 prime factors, 1 distinct)
It does not! The number 7 has fewer factors!
Logically, the smallest number with 4 different prime factors would have to be the product of the smallest four prime numbers. So the smallest natural number with four different prime factors is 210 (2*3*5*7).
