semiprimethe

Semiprimethe is not a widely recognized term in mathematics, science, or computing. In most references, the intended term is semiprime, a number that is the product of two primes, possibly equal. When semiprimethe is encountered, it is often a typographical error or a coined term in a specific text or fictional work.

One possible interpretation treats semiprimethe as a fictional mathematical object inspired by semiprimes, defined as an

A second interpretation sees semiprimethe as a misspelling or variant spelling of semiprime, a class of integers
