A prime factor is a factor that is prime, i.e., one that cannot itself be factored. In general, a prime factorization takes the form
(1) |
where are prime factors and are their orders. Prime factorization can be performed in the Wolfram Language using the command FactorInteger[n], which returns a list of pairs.
The following table gives the prime factorization for the positive integers .

The number of not necessarily distinct prime factors of a number is denoted (Hardy and Wright 1979, p. 354) or . Conway et al. (2008) coined the term "multiprimality of " to describe , with semiprimes then being termed biprimes, numbers with three factors terms triprimes, etc. The number of prime factors is given in terms of the prime factorization above by

The first few values for , 2, ... are 0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 2, 4, 1, 3, 1, 3, ... (OEIS A001222). is plotted above up to (left) and (right). The function is implemented in the Wolfram Language as PrimeOmega[n],
The function defined by is known as the Liouville function.
The number of distinct prime factors of a number is denoted (Hardy and Wright 1979, p. 354), or sometimes or , and is implemented in the Wolfram Language as PrimeNu[n].
For example, has a single distinct prime factor, so , but two total prime factors, so .
