There is no such number. No matter how high you go, there will always be another larger number with more factors.

Let's say you take the number 101. This is a Prime number, so its prime factorization is 101 = 1 * 101

Now let's look for a number with an additional prime factor. In order to do this, we multiple 101 by the smallest prime number: 2

101 * 2 = 202

This new number now has two prime factors: 2 and 101

If we keep multiplying our numbers by 2, we will keep getting one more prime factor each time. This will continue as our number approaches infinity.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
