A positive rational number q belongs to the f-factor-limit, called the '''factor limit''', for a given positive integer f if and only if the sum of the exponent absolutes of its factorization into primes is less than or equal to f.
A positive rational number q belongs to the fmax-max-factor-limit, called the '''maximal factor limit''', for a given positive integer fmax if and only if the sum of the exponent absolutes of its factorization into primes is less than or equal to fmax.
 
In other words, a positive rational number q belongs to the fmax-max-factor-limit if and only if the sum of the exponent absolutes of its factorization into primes is right-bounded to fmax.

* 0-max-factor-limit contains only 1
 
* 1-max-factor-limit contains also the prime harmonic series (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, etc...) and the prime subharmonic series (2<sup>-1</sup>, 3<sup>-1</sup>, 5<sup>-1</sup>, 7<sup>-1</sup>, 11<sup>-1</sup>, 13<sup>-1</sup>, 17<sup>-1</sup>, etc...), called [[prime interval|prime intervals]].

A positive rational number q belongs to the fmin-min-factor-limit, called the '''minimal factor limit''', for a given positive integer fmin if and only if the sum of the exponent absolutes of its factorization into primes is more than or equal to fmin.
 
In other words, a positive rational number q belongs to the fmin-min-factor-limit if and only if the sum of the exponent absolutes of its factorization into primes is left-bounded to fmin.

==Definition==


A positive rational number q belongs to the minp-maxp-f-mmpfactor-limit, called the '''minimal and maximal primes factor limit''', for a given prime number minp, a given prime number maxp with maxp>=minp and a given positive integer f if and only if the minimal prime number into q factorization is minp, the maximal prime number into q factorization into primes is maxp, and the sum of the exponent absolutes of q factorization into primes is less than or equal to f.
A positive rational number q belongs to the (pmin;pmax;fmin;fmax)-limit, called the '''prime-bounded and factor-bounded limit''', if q ∈ pmin-min-prime-limit ∩ pmax-max-prime-limit ∩ fmin-min-factor-limit ∩ fmax-max-factor-limit.
