110 is a sphenic numberSphenic number
In number theory, a sphenic number is a positive integer which is the product of three distinct prime numbers.Note that this definition is more stringent than simply requiring the integer to have exactly three prime factors; e.g. 60 = 22 × 3 × 5 has exactly 3 prime factors, but is not sphenic.All...
