Project Euler Problem 187: https://projecteuler.net/problem=187
A composite is a number containing at least two prime factors.
For example, 15 = 3 x 5; 9 = 3 x 3; 12 = 2 x 2 x 3.
There are ten composites below thirty containing precisely two,
not necessarily distinct, prime factors: 4, 6, 9, 10, 14, 15, 21, 22, 25, 26.
How many composite integers, n < 10^8, have precisely two,
not necessarily distinct, prime factors?
