A composite number is a positive integer, that has at least one factor besides the number one and itself. That is, a positive integer which is not one and a prime number is a composite number. Some examples are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10,…. Thus, any number which can be factored into prime numbers is called a composite number. In this case any number, greater than 1 but less than n, which divides n is called its proper factor. The next theorem is called the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.

(2) When the value of n is a composite number, n can be formulated as where then p is a prime number, ji is the positive integer, and thus the maximum m is [18].
