Abstract

In  this  research  paper,  the  problem  of   testing   whether a  given  integer  is  Highly  Composite  Number  is  formulated.  Using  Ramanujan's   Theorem,  it  is  reasoned  that  the  unique  factorization  of  Highly  Composite  Number  cannot  be  performed  using  a  polynomial  time  algorithm.  Since  the  class  of  Highly  Composite  Numbers  is  countably  infinite,  integer  factorization  is  NOT  in  class  P.

Keyphrases: Highly Composite Numbers, polynomial-time algorithm, prime numbers, unique factorization
