edit120 being the smallest highly composite number
edit120 (number) says it is the "smallest highly composite number", but the OEIS contradicts this. Is there any definition of "highly composite number" that would make this true? Batrachoseps (talk) 02:29, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- It is specifically called the smallest highly composite number not adjacent to any prime. This is a true statement, if perhaps a bit confusingly phrased. Double sharp (talk) 03:08, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have rephrased the statement to clarify it. Double sharp (talk) 03:09, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for rephrasing it. I had interpreted the sentence to mean "120 is the smallest highly composite number" and "120 is the first multiple of six with no adjacent prime number". Batrachoseps (talk) 03:12, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
