On the opposite extreme from a [[prime]] number is a '''highly composite number'''.
On the opposite extreme from a [[prime]] number is a '''highly composite number'''.
Along with a [[composite number]], a highly composite number is one of two types of number that is the opposite of a prime number. A composite number is the ''general'' opposite to a prime. A highly composite number (HCN) is the special opposite of a prime. The set of HCNs is a subset of composite number, specifically by being made of the type of composite number that has more factors than any number both lesser than itself and lesser than its higher HCN neighbor.

A prime has the least quantity of factors, namely two. A highly composite number is a number that '''''initiates''''' an ''increase'' in quantity of factors over that of any lesser number.
