A composite number.
A composite number has three or more 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.
There is no such number. You can always find a number that has yet more factors. For example, 4 has three factors (1, 2, 4), 8 has four factors (1, 2, 4, 8), 16 has five factors (1, 2, 4, 8, 16), etc. - and you can continue obtaining higher and higher powers of two, thus obtaining numbers with more factors than the previous one.
60 has more factors than 100 does.
