<br><br>Also, worthy of note is: &nbsp; All &nbsp; '''semiprimes''' &nbsp; (also known as '''biprimes''' or '''2-almost primes''') &nbsp; have exactly three factors: &nbsp; unity and two (not necessarily distinct) primes. &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:23, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

: I made the wording more verbose to avoid the issue with the word "even". Of course, this leaves open issues such as factors of non-integers, and verbosity sometimes makes problems worse. But maybe it's good enough for now? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 15:12, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
