Definition talk:Highly Composite Number

Is the definition given "wrong" as such? Let $m$ be $14$. The smallest $n$ such that $\tau \left({n}\right) \ge m$ is $60$, where in this case $\tau \left({n}\right) = 16$. Am I missing something? --prime mover (talk) 12:01, 2 May 2017 (EDT)

I think so. Because it says "if and only if" and $m$ is at that point already fixed-but-arbitrary. So then $60$ would be the only highly composite number. — Lord_Farin (talk) 12:12, 2 May 2017 (EDT)
Oh okay. Feel free to think of a better way to word it ... --prime mover (talk) 15:42, 2 May 2017 (EDT)

Nice one :). — Lord_Farin (talk) 06:05, 5 June 2017 (EDT)
